Club career






= Braga

Born in Braga, Joca had two youth spells with local S.C. Braga, the last one starting at the age of 15. He made his senior debut with their reserves on 9 August 2014, coming on as a 76th-minute substitute in a 1–0 away loss against C.D. Tondela in the Segunda Liga; he went to spend three full seasons with the side, always in that division.
On 11 July 2017, after scoring a career-best 12 goals during the campaign with Braga B, Joca was loaned to Primeira Liga club Tondela. His first game in the competition occurred on 9 September, when he featured one minute in the 2–2 home draw with F.C. Paços de Ferreira.




= Rio Ave and Leixões

On 27 July 2018, Joca signed a three-year contract at Rio Ave F.C. also of the Portuguese top tier. In January 2020, not being part of manager Carlos Carvalhal's plans, he was loaned to Leixões S.C. until June.
Joca joined Leixões on a permanent basis on 18 August 2020. In July 2021, however, he returned to the Estádio dos Arcos on a one-year deal.
Rio Ave won the second division in 2021–22, with Joca contributing three goals from 31 matches. He missed the vast majority of the following season with a knee injury.
