Football career
Born in Barcelos, Tinoco reached local Gil Vicente FC's youth system at the age of only 10. He appeared in four Primeira Liga games towards the end of the 2004–05 season, but went on to spend the following years on loan to amateur clubs, being released from contract in 2008 and joining another lower league side, Italy's S.S. Monopoli 1966.
In the 2010 summer, Tinoco returned to his country's top level, but only featured once in the league with S.C. Beira-Mar, being loaned twice to teams in the second division. For the 2012–13 campaign, he signed with another club in the latter level, Associação Naval 1º de Maio.
Following Naval's relegation to division three, due to irregularities, Tinoco moved to newly promoted F.C. Arouca in late June 2013. He was presented the following month, alongside Rui Sacramento.
On 24 June 2015, after being relatively played during his stint, Tinoco signed a one-year deal with C.D. Tondela.
