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 debut in the 2012–13 season, being a nuclear element for the B team in the second division.[1]

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.[2] For the 2014–15 campaign, he was loaned to fellow league club G.D. Estoril Praia.[3]

Tozé scored a penalty against Porto to put Estoril 2–1 ahead in a league fixture on 9 November 2014, 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.[4]

After leaving the Estádio do Dragão in the summer of 2015, Tozé signed a four-year deal with Vitória S.C. also of the Portuguese top division.[5] For 2017–18, he joined Moreirense F.C. in a season-long loan.[6]

On 25 August 2018, both Tozé and André André contributed one goal each to help defeat their 3–2 former club Porto away after being down 2–0.[7] The following June, having decided he would not renew his expiring contract with Vitória,[8] he moved to the UAE Pro-League with Al-Nasr Dubai SC.[9]

Tozé scored the winning goal in the final of the UAE League Cup against Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai FC on 17 January 2020, helping his team win their second title in the competition.[10]

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.[11]
