Estoril

Born in Alcabideche, Cascais, Vaz graduated from G.D. Estoril Praia's youth setup.

Olhanense.^[3][4]

Reus

On 27 January 2015, Vaz terminated his contract with Estoril and moved to Spain after agreeing to a five-year deal with Segunda División B side CF Reus Deportiu.^[5] He made 27 appearances in his first full season – playoffs included – scoring three times to help the club reach Segunda División for the first time in its 117-year history.^[6]

Vaz scored his first goal in the Spanish second tier on 10 September 2016, equalising the 1–1 home draw with CD Numancia.^[7]

OFI

On 30 January 2019, OFI Crete F.C. announced the signing of Vaz on a two-and-a-half-year contract for an undisclosed fee.^[8] He scored his first Super League Greece goal on 31 March, but in a 3–1 away loss against Aris Thessaloniki FC.^[9] He repeated the feat a week later, at home to relegation rivals PAS Giannina FC (1–0).^[10]
