Born in Kimberley, South Africa, Phete began his career in the National First Division with Cape Town-based club Milano United, having previously graduated from the Stars of Africa Academy.[1] In 2014, he joined Segunda Divisão Portuguesa side Tourizense with whom he spent one season.[2]

Vitória Guimarães

On 13 August 2015, Primeira Liga side Vitória Guimarães announced the signing of Phete from Tourizense.[3] He made his debut for the club on 28 November in a 2–1 win over Boavista during which he was booked in the 29th minute before being substituted at half-time for Otávio.[4] He made 12 appearances over the course of the season as Vitória ended in ninth spot on the Primeira Liga table.[5] At the end of the season Phete was joined at the club by fellow countrymen Bongani Zungu and Haashim Domingo who had signed for the upcoming season.[6] He failed to appear for the senior side in the following two seasons, however, after he was moved to the club's reserve squad, Vitória Guimarães B.
