Boavista
Valente was born in Aveiro. A product of Boavista FC's youth system he made his professional debuts for the northerners in the 2004–05 season, and quickly established himself as first-choice in winger positions as Boavista achieved two consecutive sixth places in the Primeira Liga.
Previously, Valente served a one-year loan at G.D. Chaves in the second division.
Porto
In July 2006, Valente signed for an undisclosed fee with FC Porto but, in January 2007, after appearing just once (albeit in an important match, a 1–1 draw at Sporting Clube de Portugal), he was loaned to C.S. Marítimo, where he scored in a 1–1 away draw against C.D. Aves.
Valente jumped the "loan train" again from 2007 to 2009, this time at Leixões S.C., in Matosinhos, which had returned to the top flight for the 2007–08 campaign. Alongside teammates Paulo Machado and Vieirinha, also loaned by Porto, he proved instrumental as the club retained its league status at the end of the first season.
Braga / Académica
On 1 July 2009, Valente left Porto by mutual agreement, joining S.C. Braga for an undisclosed fee. As the Minho side finished in a best-ever second position he appeared rarely, sometimes not even making the list of 18.
Valente featured regularly for Académica de Coimbra during 2010–11, on loan. On 29 June 2011, he terminated his contract with Braga and signed a one-year deal with the Students. During his first year in his second spell he again rarely missed a game, and scored once in seven contests in the season's Taça de Portugal, which ended in conquest after 73 years.
Cluj
In late May 2012, Valente joined Romanian club CFR Cluj on a three-year contract, where he shared teams with a host of compatriots.
