Club career
Born in Luanda, Fredy joined C.F. Os Belenenses' youth system at the age of 11, signing from neighbouring G.D.P. Costa de Caparica. He made his Primeira Liga debut on 3 April 2009, coming on as a 60th-minute substitute in a 0–1 away loss to Académica de Coimbra.[2] He finished his first full season with 24 scoreless appearances, as the Lisbon team were relegated.
Fredy scored eight goals in 38 games in the 2012–13 campaign, helping the club to return to the top level after three years.[3] He scored for the first time in the competition on 12 April 2014, his brace helping the team come from behind to win 3–1 at home against Vitória de Guimarães.[4]
In January 2015, Fredy returned to Angola and signed with C.R.D. Libolo, initially on loan.[5] On 20 July 2016 he agreed to a one-year contract at SBV Excelsior in the Dutch Eredivisie, rejoining his former Belenenses manager Mitchell van der Gaag.[6]
Fredy returned to Belenenses in June 2017, signing a two-year deal.[7] He scored six league goals and provided six assists in the first part of 2018–19.[8]
On 31 January 2019, Fredy moved to Turkish club Antalyaspor.[9]
