Seninho was born in Sá da Bandeira, Portuguese Angola. In his country, he only played with FC Porto,[1] making his Primeira Liga debut in the 1969–70 season, which he ended with 18 games and six goals to help his team to the ninth position.[2] He won the only national championship of his career with the club in 1978, contributing to the feat with 29 matches and four goals.[3]
Subsequently, aged 29, Seninho moved to the United States where he remained until his retirement, playing five years with the New York Cosmos and two with the Chicago Sting and winning the North American Soccer League with both sides – three titles with the former.[1]
