To continue his development he moved to Sporting CP in 2004 and spent 6 years with the clubs youth academy. In 2011 he moved Vitória S.C. to complete his development with the Guimarães based club before signing his first professional contract with them in 2012.

He made a total of 35 appearances in his first season, scoring 6 goals, all of which came in the Portuguese Cup, including a historic winner in the final against S.L. Benfica as his side won the tournament for the first time in their history.
