Club career

Born in Bissau, Baldé moved to Portugal at the age of 17, and played two years with FC Porto's juniors.[1] He made his debut as a senior with F.C. Paços de Ferreira in the Primeira Liga, during the 2011–12 season, but was also loaned twice to clubs in the second division.

In the summer of 2013, Baldé signed with Poland's Zawisza Bydgoszcz.[2] However, shortly after, and without having made a single official appearance, he returned to Portugal and joined Atlético Clube de Portugal also of the second level.[3]

On 26 June 2014, Baldé returned to Portugal and its second tier with S.C. Beira-Mar.[4] He signed for Vitória S.C. one year later,[5] being immediately loaned to Vasco da Gama (South Africa).[6]

In February 2016, Baldé arrived in Serbia along with Pedro Sass Petrazzi,[7] but he only joined FK Borac Čačak officially in August after his former club dissolved.[8] He made his debut in the Superliga late in that month, when he came on as a late substitute in a 0–1 away loss against OFK Bačka Bačka Palanka.[9]

Baldé returned to Portugal subsequently, his spell in Serbia having been marred by financial problems.[10] In June 2020, he signed with SC Vianense of the third division.[11]

International career

Baldé earned his first cap for Guinea-Bissau on 4 September 2010 at the age of 18, in a 1–0 home win over Kenya for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
