Club career
Born in Forjães, Esposende, Tozé had two youth spells with FC Porto, the last starting in 2009 which eventually led to his graduation. He made his senior debuts in the 2012–13 season, being a nuclear element for the B-team in the second division.
On 10 February 2013, shortly after celebrating his 20th birthday, Tozé made his first official appearance for the main squad, coming on as a second-half substitute for Silvestre Varela in a 1–1 home draw against S.C. Olhanense for the Primeira Liga championship. For the 2014–15 campaign, he was loaned to fellow top flight club G.D. Estoril Praia.
On 9 November 2014, Tozé scored a penalty against Porto to put Estoril 2–1 ahead in a league fixture, in an eventual 2–2 home draw. Right after the match, he was confronted in the stadium's tunnel by Porto staff members who accused him of lack of professionalism for scoring the penalty.
Personal life
In 2011, Tozé was distinguished as the best student in all the public high-schools of Porto, receiving an award from the city mayor Rui Rio. He graduated from Escola António Nobre with a final maximum grade of 20, and subsequently studied veterinary medicine in the Abel Salazar Biomedical Sciences Institute, simultaneously with his football career.
