Gil Vicente

Born in Barcelos, Braga District, Costa played youth football with S.C. Braga and Gil Vicente FC, joining the latter's academy at the age of 14.[1] He made his senior debut with Vilaverdense FC, in the lower leagues.[2]

Costa's first match in the Segunda Liga with Gil occurred on 8 August 2015, when he featured the entire 1–1 home draw against C.D. Mafra.[3] In January 2016, he was voted the competition's best young player.[2]

Rieti

On 30 July 2018, Costa signed a two-year contract with Italian Serie C club F.C. Rieti.[4] He did not appear in any competitive games due to a serious cruciate ligament injury, and left by mutual consent on 15 May 2019.[5]
