Club career[]

Born in Sanfins (Santa Maria da Feira), Fonseca played youth football for three clubs, including S.L. Benfica from ages 12 to 16.[2] On 23 May 2019, after leading all scorers in the junior championship with 20 goals,[3] the 19-year-old signed his first professional contract with C.D. Tondela.[4]

Fonseca made his competitive debut with the first team on 3 August 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–0 away loss against F.C. Penafiel in the second round of the Taça da Liga.[5] He first appeared in the Primeira Liga the following 5 January, featuring 17 minutes in the 1–1 home draw with Gil Vicente FC.[6]

On 5 January 2021, Fonseca was loaned to third division club S.C. Salgueiros until the end of the season.[7]
