Career

Moldova

Accepting an offer from Dacia Chisinau of the Moldovan National Division in 2006, Pina claimed that living conditions were poor there and that he had experienced racism there.[3] In view of this, he participated in the 2007 UEFA Intertoto Cup.[3]

Romania

Linked to SCM Râmnicu Vâlcea of the Romanian Liga II in 2008,[4] the Bissau-Guinean was announced in their list for 2008,[5] but was released that December with Slovakian Tomáš Labun.[6]

Malta

Introduced on a short-term contract to Hibernians of the Maltese Premier League in early 2010 through Mawete Júnior, the forward experienced racism as well in Malta,[7] debuting in a 2-4 collapse to Valletta[8] grabbing his first league goal in a 1-0 success over Qormi.[9]

Myanmar

Phoned by an agent of an injured footballer to come to the Myanmar National League with Zwekapin United in 2013, he swapped them for Rakhapura United that April as their second foreigner[10] on a contract that lasted until the end of August before becoming a free agent.[11]

Based on the experience, Pina stated that he was surprised how the people were in Myanmar were very religious and were not condescending about it.[11]

England

First introduced for Tilbury in a 2–2 stalemate with Romford,[12] the attacker made his first start as Tilbury bettered Chatham Town 1–0.[13]

Dually registering for AFC Totton as well as Blackfield & Langley in winter 2017,[14] the frontman found the net on his debut for Totton as the Stags got the better of Barnstaple Town 3–1,[15] producing a goal again from 30 yards out in a 1–0 triumph over Larkhall Athletic.[16] Meanwhile, at Blackfield & Langley, he picked up an injury that December.[17]
