Club career

Perspective

Born in Calheta, Madeira, China began playing at A.D.R. Prazeres. When the opportunity arose to move to Estrela da Calheta FC, his chairman did not authorise the transfer due to bad blood between the two clubs; he played competitive futsal until the situation was resolved.[2]

China had trialled unsuccessfully on several occasions at C.S. Marítimo, but was taken on by the C team under his former Calheta manager Nélson Gouveia, and signed a professional deal in January 2015 at age 22. He made his debut in the Primeira Liga on 15 May 2016 at the end of the season, playing the entirety of a 2–1 away loss against Moreirense F.C. under the management of Nelo Vingada.[2][3]

China missed the middle of the 2016–17 campaign due to a three-month pubalgia.[2] On 10 February 2018, he was sent off in a 3–0 defeat at Rio Ave FC.[4] In May 2021, when his contract was due to expire, it was extended for two years.[5]

In 2022–23, China played only ten times as Marítimo were relegated, with most of his appearances being as a substitute for Vítor Costa. Nonetheless, at the season's end, he was rewarded with a two-year extension.[6]

On 27 October 2024, with the side now in the Liga Portugal 2 following their 2023 relegation, China scored his first goal as a professional, opening an eventual 3–1 away win over newly-promoted F.C. Felgueiras.[7][8] He left the Estádio do Marítimo in July 2025, with 170 competitive appearances to his credit.[9]

China remained in the island for the 2025–26 campaign, signing with fourth division club A.D. Camacha.[10]
