Club career

Born in Galegos (São Martinho), Barcelos, Fonseca played in every level of Portuguese football with the exception of the fourth division. He started with Santa Maria F.C. in the regional leagues, then moved straight to the third level with F.C. Tirsense.

In the summer of 2010, Fonseca signed with Segunda Liga club C.D. Feirense, achieving immediate promotion and scoring one goal from 27 appearances in the process.[1][2] He made his debut in the Primeira Liga on 14 August 2011, starting and being sent off at the hour-mark of a 0–0 home draw against C.D. Nacional.[3]

On 15 July 2013, Fonseca joined Bulgarian side PSFC Chernomorets Burgas after a successful one-week trial.[4] In January 2016, he moved from PFC Slavia Sofia[5] to Kazakhstan Premier League's FC Irtysh Pavlodar on a two-year contract after a six-month loan the previous season.[6]

On 30 December 2018, Fonseca signed a new one-year deal with Irtysh.[7] On 21 November of the following year, he agreed to a new extension.[8]
