Born in Foz do Sousa, Gondomar, Porto District, António Filipe began his career with hometown club Gondomar S.C. in Segunda Liga. In August 2009, following their relegation, he signed a four-year contract with F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[2] Almost exclusively a backup during his spell at the Estádio da Mata Real,[3] he made his Primeira Liga debut on 12 September 2010 when starter Cássio was sent off shortly before the hour-mark of the 1–1 away draw against C.S. Marítimo.[4]
On 26 June 2015, António Filipe agreed to a one-year deal at second-tier G.D. Chaves.[5] He played a career-best 30 matches (31 overall) in his first season, which ended in promotion, and then extended his link for another year.[6]
In 2017, António Filipe renewed his contract until 30 June 2019.[7] During his tenure, he constantly battled for first-choice status with Ricardo Nunes.[8]
Aged 34, António Filipe joined G.D. Estoril Praia on a one-year deal on 6 June 2019.[9]
