Club career
Born in Pinhal Novo, Portugal, Sandro started his career at Vitória FC, but moved to Spain still a youngster, although he had already made his Primeira Liga debuts, and played for two-and-a-half seasons with Hércules CF, in the Spanish Segunda División.
In January 1999, he joined La Liga club Villarreal CF on loan, but appeared just twice throughout his six-month spell in a season that ended in relegation. He subsequently returned to the country's division two for the following campaign, with UD Salamanca.
After a second spell with Vitória Setúbal (five years), FC Porto acquired Sandro's services for 2005–06, but he was quickly loaned without making any official appearances, to Turkey's Vestel Manisaspor until January 2006, when he returned to Vitória for a third stint.
In July 2010, after having contributed with 26 matches – one goal, in a 2–1 away win against direct relegation rivals Leixões S.C. on 14 March 2010 – to Setúbal maintaining its top level status, 33-year-old Sandro left for Spain again, signing for Segunda División B side AD Ceuta, in which he was joined by several compatriots.
