Club career
Born in Trofa, Porto District, Serginho spent the better part of his ten-year youth career with local C.D. Trofense. He made his senior debuts with the club in the Segunda Liga, then signed with S.C. Beira-Mar from the Primeira Liga in the 2011 summer.
Serginho's first game in the top division occurred on 11 September 2011, as he came as a late substitute in a 0–1 home loss against U.D. Leiria. He finished the season with a further 14 games, scoring in a 3–1 away win over C.D. Feirense as his team went on to finish in 12th position.
Serginho joined F.C. Arouca for 2013–14, as the team were experiencing their first-ever campaign in the top flight. He started in six of his 24 appearances, netting against C.S. Marítimo (1–2 home defeat), S.L. Benfica (2–2 away draw) and Vitória de Guimarães (3–2 away win) in an eventual escape from relegation.
In the last minutes of the 2015 January transfer window, Serginho was loaned to former side Trofense. The move was made permanent in July, after their relegation from the second level and the expiration of his contract to Arouca.
On 13 June 2016, Serginho signed for Azerbaijan Premier League club Kapaz PFK.
International career
Serginho was part of the Portuguese squad at the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Colombia, being an unused squad member for the eventual finalists.
