Club career

edit

Born in Lisbon, Pinto started out at G.D. Estoril Praia in the lower leagues, and only reached the Segunda Liga at the age of 28 after signing for Moreirense F.C. in the summer of 2010.[2] He went to appear in 205 games in the competition over the course of seven seasons, scoring a total of 44 goals for that club, F.C. Arouca, G.D. Chaves and S.C. Covilhã.[3]

In the 2015–16 campaign, Pinto netted five times in 31 appearances, helping Chaves to return to the Primeira Liga after 17 years.[4] Late into the 2017 January transfer window, the 34-year-old returned to the third division and joined S.C.U. Torreense.[5]
