He spent the vast majority of his career in Portugal and China, amassing Primeira Liga totals of 123 games and 28 goals during seven seasons in the former country. His own country notwithstanding, he also competed professionally in Spain.
Quinzinho appeared for Angola in two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.
Club career
Born in Luanda, Portuguese Angola, Quinzinho signed with FC Porto in 1995 from local club Atlético Sport Aviação. He was sparingly played during his spell at the former club as he was barred by Domingos Paciência first and later Mário Jardel, also being loaned to fellow Primeira Liga sides U.D. Leiria and Rio Ave FC.
After an unassuming experience in Spain with Rayo Vallecano, Quinzinho returned to Portugal where he represented in quick succession, always in the top division and still owned by Porto, S.C. Farense, C.D. Aves and F.C. Alverca. In January 2003, after half-a-season with G.D. Estoril Praia in the lower leagues, he moved to China where he would remain fives years, appearing for teams in both the Super League and the League One.
International career
Quinzinho earned 40 caps for Angola, during seven years and two months. He made his debut on 4 September 1994, in a 2–0 home win against Namibia for the 1996 African Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Quinzinho was picked for the squad at the 1996 and 1998 African Cup of Nations, scoring a combined three goals as both tournaments ended in group stage elimination.
