Club career
Born in Ponta Delgada, Azores, Botelho was a product of local C.D. Santa Clara's youth system, making his first-team debuts in 2003–04 (one match in the second division). In the following seasons, with the side also in that level, he backed up Nuno Santos for two years, before being first-choice during the same amount of time.
In 2008–09, with Santa Clara in the same tier, Botelho again appeared as understudy, now to Alemão. In the following campaign more of the same befell, after the signing of English Matt Jones (no league matches).
Botelho resumed his career in division three, with A.D. Camacha and C.D. Operário. In the 2013 summer he returned to Santa Clara but, in December of the same year, re-joined his previous club.
International career
Botelho appeared for the Portugal under-21 team at the 2007 UEFA European Championship in the Netherlands, as backup to Paulo Ribeiro. He eventually did not leave the bench during the competition, and never gained caps for that or any category.
