Club career

Pedroso was born in Guimarães. He started playing at the professional level at the age of 23, appearing in only three Primeira Liga games for C.F. Estrela da Amadora during one full season – the club was also relegated due to financial irregularities.

Pedroso subsequently competed in the Segunda Liga, where he represented C.D. Aves and Portimonense SC. Whilst at the service of the former team, he won the SJPF Segunda Liga Player of the Month for October 2011.[1]

On 1 August 2014, after two years as first-choice with Vitória F.C. in the top level, Pedroso signed with fellow league side F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[2] The following 12 July, he returned to division two after agreeing to a two-year deal at Aves.[3]
