Club career[]

Born in Amora (Seixal), Setúbal District, Tavares joined Sporting CP's academy at the age of 16, from local Paio Pires Futebol Clube.[2] He made his professional debut with the former's reserves on 10 January 2016, coming on as a second-half substitute for Rafael Barbosa in a 2–0 away loss against C.D. Feirense in the Segunda Liga.[3]

Tavares scored his first goal in the competition on 20 August 2016, but in a 2–4 home defeat to AD Fafe.[4] In March 2018, he was called by first-team manager Jorge Jesus for a match against FC Viktoria Plzeň in the UEFA Europa League round of 16,[2] but eventually did not leave the bench.[5]

On 23 July 2018, Tavares was loaned to C.D. Cova da Piedade.[6] In the summer of 2019, he cut ties with Sporting and signed with F.C. Penafiel also of the second division.[7]
