He made his senior debut on 29 July 2012, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 home draw against U.D. Oliveirense in the first round of the Taça da Liga.[3] His first match in the Segunda Liga occurred on 11 August, a 3–1 home win over C.D. Feirense where he also started.[4]
Silva ultimately contributed 37 games and four goals as the Estádio do Restelo club returned to the Primeira Liga after a three-year absence.[5] He made his debut in the Portuguese top flight on 18 August 2013, being booked in the 0–3 home loss to Rio Ave FC.[6]
