Football career
Born in Macedo de Cavaleiros, Bragança District, Valente started playing football with F.C. Paços de Ferreira, joining the club's youth system at the age of only eight and being promoted to the first team in 2004, making 16 Primeira Liga appearances with two goals during his first season. For the 2005–06 campaign, he was loaned to second division team Gondomar SC, subsequently returning to Paços.
In January 2008, Valente was linked with a move to English Football League Championship side Charlton Athletic for a reported fee of £1.5 million, but nothing came of it. In the same month of the following year, he was loaned to C.D. Aves until the end of the season, and the move was made permanent in July 2009.
In June 2012, after three full seasons in the second level, playing all the games and minutes in 2011–12 to help his team finish in third position, narrowly missing out on promotion, Valente returned to Paços de Ferreira for a second spell.
