Born in Almada, Setúbal District, Carlitos played the vast majority of his career in the lower levels of Portuguese football. His first Segunda Liga experience (of only three) occurred with Portimonense S.C. in the 2007–08 season (six starts, team finished in tenth position).
In the summer of 2011, Carlitos moved to the Cypriot First Division, where he spent several years in representation of AEL Limassol. On 3 July 2015, he signed a two-year contract with Super League Greece club Iraklis Thessaloniki FC.[2]
Carlitos returned to Cyprus and its top flight on 4 January 2016, when he joined AC Omonia.[3] He scored his first and only for the side roughly one year later, when he headed home in a 2–1 away loss against Apollon Limassol FC,[4] and after 51 competitive appearances he was released on 26 May 2017.[5]
Carlitos' cousin, Nani, was also a footballer. He represented mainly Sporting CP, Manchester United and Portugal.[6]
