Football career
Born in Braga, Hugo played during his early career with S.C. Braga, making his first-team – and first division – debuts at the age of 19. He moved to Italy's U.C. Sampdoria in 1997, being regularly used during his three-year stint but suffering Serie A relegation in his second season.
In 2000 Hugo returned to Portugal, joining Sporting Clube de Portugal and appearing scarcely for the 2002 league champions (also helping to the cup the same season). After six seasons he left as a free agent to Vitoria de Setubal, where he also featured sparingly.
In 2008–09 Hugo played the most games he had in years, but spent most of the campaign as defensive midfielder. Aged 33 he had his first second level experience, signing with S.C. Beira-Mar and helping the Aveiro side win the league in his first year and return to the top flight, after a three-year absence.
