Football career
Born in Montijo, Setúbal, José Pedro started playing professional football for his hometown club C.D. Montijo in 1996, then moved to F.C. Barreirense where he would remain for the following five seasons, all spent in the third division. He split duties in 2002–03 between Boavista F.C. and A.D. Ovarense.
José Pedro was influential in Vitória FC's 2003–04 campaign, as the Setúbal-based club earned a Primeira Liga return. He subsequently joined C.F. Os Belenenses, where he was immediately cast into the starting XI.
In 2006–07, José Pedro scored eight league goals for a Belenenses final fifth-place in the league (with qualification to the UEFA Cup), while the team was also runner-up in the domestic cup. He repeated the individual feat in the following season, and remained an automatic first-choice until the 2009–10 campaign, when he dealt with many injuries and the Lisbon side was also relegated as second from bottom.
In July 2010, at nearly 32 years of age, José Pedro returned to Vitória Setúbal after a six-year absence. He left at the end of the 2012–13 season, with the club always in the top level.
