Football career

edit

Born in Fiães, Santa Maria da Feira, Gabi began in the lower leagues with Fiães S.C. before moving to C.D. Feirense in the second tier. He spent most of his career at that level with seven clubs, making 241 appearances and scoring 25 goals.

In July 2014, Gabi moved abroad for the only time in his career, from newly promoted Primeira Liga side F.C. Penafiel to Nea Salamis Famagusta FC of the Cypriot First Division.[1] Six months later he was back in his country's second division, with Académico de Viseu FC.[2]
