Football career[]

Freamunde[]

Born in Cristelo, Paredes, Pedrinho moved from his hometown club FC Cristelo to S.C. Freamunde at the age of 11. He made his professional debut in the Segunda Liga on 22 January 2012, as a substitute for Bock in the last three minutes of a 3–0 home win over U.D. Oliveirense.[2][3] He began playing regularly in 2013–14 as the side won the third tier, and scored the decisive goal in the 3–2 win over Clube Oriental de Lisboa in the final on 10 June.[4]

Pedrinho scored his first goal in a professional league on 9 August 2014, as the season opened with a 1–0 win at home to Atlético Clube de Portugal.[5] In 2015–16, he was the league's joint sixth highest scorer with a career-best 13 as his team came fifth;[6] this included two goals on 23 January in a 3–0 win over visitors Vitória S.C. B.[7]

Paços Ferreira[]

In July 2016, Pedrinho signed a four-year deal at nearby F.C. Paços de Ferreira in the Primeira Liga.[7] In his third top-flight game, he scored twice in a 5–3 loss at Vitória de Guimarães.[8] In 2018–19, he captained the team led by promotion specialist Vítor Oliveira to the second division title;[9] he scored once on 13 January to conclude a 3–0 win at C.D. Cova da Piedade.[10]

Riga[]

At the end of July 2020, out-of-contract Pedrinho headed abroad for the first time, to Riga FC in Latvia.[11] On 18 September, in his career's first European match, he scored the only goal of a home win over San Marino's S.P. Tre Fiori in the UEFA Europa League second qualifying round.[12] He ended the year as a Higher League winner.[13]

Gil Vicente[]

On 23 January 2021, Pedrinho returned to his country's top flight on an 18-month deal at Gil Vicente FC.[13] He scored once as the team climbed from 15th to 11th, an added-time penalty to decide a home win over C.D. Santa Clara on 20 February.[14]
