Duarte played youth football for Sparta Rotterdam. As the Tweede Divisie was reintroduced, he began playing regularly for Jong Sparta Rotterdam who had joined the Dutch football league system.[4][3] In the 2016–17 season, he was on Sparta's first-team bench for a few games without making an appearance.[3]
He made his professional debut for Sparta in the 2017–18 season, replacing Stijn Spierings in the 81st minute of a 3–0 away loss to VVV-Venlo.[5] Sparta was relegated to the Eerste Divisie that season.[6] However, he was part of the team that finished second and returned to the Eredivisie after winning the promotion play-off against TOP Oss and De Graafschap.[7]
In the following 2019–20 season, he was mainly a substitute, with his brother Laros Duarte among the players ahead of him in the pecking order.[3][8] However, he established himself as a regular starter in his fifth and final season at Sparta, during the 2020–21 season.[3] His contract with Sparta expired in June 2021, with Duarte having scored a total of 13 goals in 115 appearances for the club.[3]
On 12 August 2021, Duarte signed a three-year contract with Fortuna Sittard, who acquired him on a free transfer from Sparta.[9] Two days later, he made his debut in the season opener against Twente, which was won 2–1.[10] On 26 February 2022, he scored his first goal for the club against Cambuur.[11]
In June 2024, he moved to Bulgaria, joining Ludogorets Razgrad.[12]
Born in the Netherlands, Duarte is of Cape Verdean descent. He was called up to represent the Cape Verde national team for a set of friendlies in March 2022.[13] He debuted with Cape Verde in a 2–0 friendly win over Guadeloupe.[14]
He is the younger brother of the footballer Laros Duarte.[15]
