Born in Póvoa de Varzim, Agra developed in the ranks of hometown club Varzim S.C. from 2004. He made his debut on 5 December 2010 in a 3–3 Liga de Honra away draw against F.C. Arouca, starting and being substituted for his cousin Salvador Agra with ten minutes left.[2] He played four more games, all as starter, as the season ended with relegation.
In June 2013, Agra signed a three-year deal with Gil Vicente F.C. of the Primeira Liga.[3] His playing time was limited to the Taça da Liga, and halfway through the campaign he dropped down a league to Leixões S.C. on a five-month loan.[4]
Agra returned to Varzim, still in the third tier, ahead of 2014–15.[5] They won promotion as runners-up, and he remained a regular in the second division; he left his hometown team in June 2021 and criticised manager António Barbosa for playing him at right-back in his last season.[6]
