Club career

Born in Aveiro, Carmo joined S.C. Braga's youth academy at the age of 16. On 18 August 2018 he made his senior debut in the LigaPro with their reserves, playing the entire 1–0 home loss against G.D. Estoril Praia;[2] he made a further 26 appearances during the season, which ended in relegation.

Carmo played his first Primeira Liga match with the first team on 17 January 2020, replacing Raul Silva at half-time of the away fixture with FC Porto and committing a penalty shortly after which Francisco Soares failed to convert with the score at 1–0 for the visiting team (Matheus had previously saved one from Alex Telles), in an eventual 2–1 victory.[3][4]
