Born in Maia, Porto District, Geraldes spent most of his youth career with hometown club F.C. Maia, apart from one year with FC Porto in his early teenage years. He made his senior debut with the former in the fourth division in 2009.
A year later, Geraldes signed for Rio Ave F.C. but never played in their first team, instead being loaned out to G.D. Chaves (third tier) and C.D. Aves (second). In 2012, he joined İstanbul Başakşehir F.K. of the Turkish Süper Lig under compatriot Carlos Carvalhal.[2]
After a loan to C.F. Os Belenenses in the first half of the year, Geraldes moved to another Lisbon-based club, Sporting CP, on a five-year deal in June 2014.[3] Mainly assigned to the reserves, he was loaned back to Belenenses in July 2015,[4] and Vitória F.C. a year later, both in the top flight and the latter alongside fellow Lion Ryan Gauld.[5]
Both Geraldes and the Scotsman returned to Sporting at the start of 2017.[6] In August that year, the former made a now familiar move, joining Belenenses on loan for the third time.[7]
In July 2018, Geraldes went back abroad on a one-year loan to Sporting de Gijón in Spain's Segunda División.[8] The Asturians could not pay the fixed fee of €1 million to make the deal permanent, so he went on yet another temporary switch to Maccabi Tel Aviv F.C. of the Israeli Premier League.[9] He won the league title during his season in the Middle East.[10]
Geraldes left Sporting permanently on 8 September 2020, on a two-year deal at APOEL FC in the Cypriot First Division.[11] However, the following 12 January he returned to Maccabi on a contract running until June 2022.[12]
