Football career
Born in Lisbon, Rosario started playing professionally with Sporting Clube de Portugal's feeder club, Sporting Clube Lourinhanense, then had a stint with the former's B-team. From 2001 to 2003 he had spells in the second division, with F.C. Maia and S.C. Farense.
In the 2003–04 season Rosario made his top level debuts, with C.F. Os Belenenses, also scoring his first league goal in a 1–3 away loss against S.L. Benfica. In the following three years he was an important defensive element with Boavista FC, always in the main category of Portuguese football.
Alongside countrymen Eliseu and Paulo Jorge, Rosario joined Malaga CF in the Spanish second division for 2007–08, and would only miss three league games – out of 42 – during the campaign, adding goals in home matches against Cordoba CF (4–1) and Hercules CF (4–6, also being sent off) as the Andalusia club was promoted back to La Liga after two years.
In his third season at Malaga Rosario struggled with injuries and weight problems, and only made two appearances in the Copa del Rey in the first half of the season. His first league appearance only came on 18 April 2010, in the 0–0 home draw against Real Valladolid.
During the first months of 2011 Rosario and countryman Edinho were deemed surplus to requirements, being only allowed to train with the first team. On 30 June 2012 his contract expired and he left, signing the following month with SD Ponferradina in division two. He left the second level side at the end of the campaign, having failed to appear in any games due to several physical ailments.
