Club career

Born in Paços de Ferreira, Coelho spent the vast majority of his career with hometown club F.C. Paços de Ferreira. After playing through the youth ranks since the age of 11, he made the first team in 2003.

After two years and only one Segunda Liga appearance,[1] Coelho was loaned to lowly S.L. Nelas and Rebordosa AC. After some good performances with the former he was recalled by Paços, but again only served as a backup, consecutively to Pedro – another youth product born in the city – and Brazilian Peterson Peçanha;[2] the first of his 20 Primeira Liga matches during his spell at the Estádio da Mata Real took place on 6 January 2008, in a 2–1 home win against U.D. Leiria.[3]

Released in the summer of 2012 after one season in the second division with C.F. Os Belenenses, Coelho resumed his career in that level, with F.C. Penafiel. He only missed one game from 42 in 2013–14, as the latter returned to the top flight after an eight-year absence; in January 2014 and June 2016, he agreed to contract extensions.[4][5]
