On 1 August 2014, after two years as first choice with Vitória F.C. in the top division, Pedroso signed with F.C. Paços de Ferreira of the same league.[8] The following 12 July, he returned to the second tier after agreeing to a two-year contract at Aves.[9]
From 2017 to 2019, Pedroso also played in division two, with Académica de Coimbra.[10][11]
