Club career
After playing youth football with Atlético Sport Aviação and Atlético Petróleos de Luanda, Araújo signed with F.C. Porto in 2004, finishing his formation and making his senior debut with Worthing F.C. three years later. He only returned to Portugal in May 2010, joining CF Esperança de Lagos, after a brief period at Havant & Waterlooville F.C..
In 2011 summer, Araújo switched teams and countries again, signing for Moldovan National Division side FC Dacia Chișinău. In February of the following year, after appearing in only seven matches, he returned to his country and joined Primeira Liga's S.C. Olhanense.
After a loan stint at S.C. Farense, Araújo was released by Olhanense in January 2013 and moved back to his home country in the following month, signing for C.D. Primeiro de Agosto. In June he went on a trial at Recreativo de Huelva, and signed a two-year deal late in the month.
Araújo made his debut for the Andalusians on 10 November, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–1 home loss against Deportivo de La Coruña for the Segunda División championship. On 24 January of the following year, after failing to appear in any further matches, he was loaned to Elche CF Ilicitano until June; he subsequently made no appearances for the latter.
In August 2014 Araújo rescinded his link with Recre, and joined Lucena CF in Segunda División B. He rescinded with the club on 13 January of the following year.
After a spell at Desportivo Huíla, he joined Bragantino in Brazil.
