Football career
Cristóvão was born in Lyon, France. After playing youth football with FC Porto he made his senior debuts with the B-team in the third division, going on to spend three full seasons with the side in the category. Released in the 2005 summer without one single official appearance for the main squad, he joined F.C. Penafiel in the Primeira Liga, but left after a couple of months and moved to Leixões S.C. in the second level, where he appeared very rarely over the course of two (incomplete) seasons.
In late December 2007, Cristovão joined AEP Paphos F.C. in Cyprus. In the 2009 summer he signed for fellow First Division club Anorthosis Famagusta FC, making his league debut on 30 August in a 0–0 away draw against Ermis Aradippou.
On 3 February 2012 Cristóvão moved to Bulgaria and PFC Levski Sofia, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract. He scored on his first league appearance, helping his team to a 2–1 win over PFC Cherno More Varna; on 29 April 2012, he netted the only goal in a derby success against PFC CSKA Sofia.
Cristóvão was released by Levski in the summer of 2013 (alongside some of the other foreign players) mainly due to his high salary, but he returned to the team after the winter break.
