Club career

Born in Sintra, Lisbon District, Silva joined Sporting CP's youth system in 2009, aged 12. 8 August 2015, he made his senior debut with their reserves, in a 0–0 home draw against C.D. Feirense in the Segunda Liga.[2]

Silva appeared in ten matches in the 2017–18 season, as his team were relegated after finishing in 18th position. On 8 July 2018, he was loaned to Primeira Liga club C.D. Tondela.[3] During his spell at the Estádio João Cardoso, he played four games in all competitions.[4]

On 10 January 2020, Danish 1st Division side HB Køge announced that they had signed Silva on a contract until summer 2022.[5] He returned to his country on 18 July 2020, agreeing a to a two-year deal at newly-promoted F.C. Vizela.[6] He contributed 15 appearances in his first season in another promotion,[7] but subsequently spent four months on the sidelines due to a right-foot syndesmosis injury.[8]

Silva made his debut in the Portuguese top flight on 28 December 2021, in a 2–0 away loss to C.S. Marítimo.[9] He retained his place until the end of the campaign, and the side managed to avoid relegation.[10]

In August 2022, Silva joined G.D. Estoril Praia on a three-year contract.[11] He returned to the second tier after only one, however, agreeing to a two-year deal at F.C. Penafiel.[12]
