Club career
Born in Făurești, Romania, Ponde emigrated to Portugal with his parents before his 10th birthday, and started playing football with S.C. Olhanense. In 2005, he joined Sporting Clube de Portugal to complete his formation.
On 24 February 2013, Ponde made his senior debut with the club's B-team, coming on as a substitute for fellow youth graduate Ricardo Esgaio for the final 14 minutes of a 5–1 home win against S.C. Freamunde for the second division championship. He scored his first goal as a professional on 30 March of that year, but in a 1–3 home loss to S.L. Benfica B.
On 2 March 2014, during a second level game against S.C. Covilhã, Ponde contracted a serious injury to his right knee, going on to be sidelined for several months.
