The son of Portuguese settlers in Mozambique, Jojó began his career with Clube de Desportos da Costa do Sol and Clube Ferroviário de Maputo. In 1992, he returned to the land of his ancestors and signed for Boavista FC, but never appeared officially for the team, also being loaned to U.D. Leiria.[citation needed]
Most of Jojó's Portuguese career was spent in the second division. In 1997–98 he had his first and only Primeira Liga experience, appearing in 24 scoreless matches for C.F. Os Belenenses as the season ended in relegation. In the country, he also represented, in a total of 12 years, A.D. Ovarense, F.C. Penafiel and S.C. Espinho (two of his six campaigns with the latter club were spent in the third level).[citation needed]
In 2005, aged 35, Jojó moved to Australia, closing out his career two years later having represented Fraser Park FC and Bonnyrigg White Eagles FC. He later obtained his UEFA coaching licence, both levels 1 and 2.[1]
