On 9 August 2014, Rebocho was called up for a Benfica B match against C.D. Trofense in the Segunda Liga, but he did not feature in the former's 3–2 home win.[5] Two weeks later, he made his professional debut in a 4–0 home victory over Académico de Viseu FC.[6]

Rebocho finished the 2015–16 season with three goals in 28 matches, helping his team to narrowly avoid relegation.[7]
