Born in Guimarães, Silva joined the academy of local Vitória S.C. at the age of 18. He started playing as a senior with their reserves[2][3] but, at the age of just 20, was promoted to the first team by manager Sérgio Conceição.[4] His first match in the Primeira Liga occurred on 28 November 2015 in a 2–1 away win against Boavista FC,[5] and he finished the season with a further 23 appearances as his team finished in tenth position.[6]
In the following years, Silva constantly battled for first-choice status with Brazilian Douglas.[7][8][9]
Free agent Silva joined APOEL FC of the Cypriot First Division in July 2020, with Vitória keeping 62% of his sporting rights regarding any future transfer.[10][11] During his one-year spell in Nicosia, he played 25 competitive games.[12]
Silva signed a three-year contract with C.S. Marítimo on 29 June 2021.[13]
Silva won the first of his two caps for Portugal at under-21 level on 6 October 2016, in a 3–3 away draw to Hungary for the 2017 UEFA European Championship qualifiers.[14]
