Club career

[edit]

Born in Lousã, Coimbra District, Seco lived in Coimbra until he was 9, when he moved back with his family to his birthplace. He represented three clubs as a youth after starting out at futsal, finishing his development with Académica de Coimbra by signing at age 16. He spent his first seven seasons as a senior in lower league or amateur football, including two with Sport Benfica e Castelo Branco and one in the Maltese First Division with the St. Lawrence Spurs.[2][3]

Seco returned to Académica on 4 July 2014, thus moving straight to the Primeira Liga.[4] He made his debut in the competition on 10 January 2015, coming on as a 78th-minute substitute in a 2–2 home draw against F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[5] He scored his first goal exactly one year later, closing the 2–1 win over C.D. Tondela also at the Estádio Cidade de Coimbra;[6] it would be his only in 49 competitive appearances.[7]

On 12 July 2016, after suffering top-flight relegation, Seco signed a one-year deal with PFC Cherno More Varna.[8] On 31 January 2017 he left Bulgaria and returned to his homeland, joining C.D. Feirense.[9]

Seco moved to FC Irtysh Pavlodar of the Kazakhstan Premier League on 23 July 2018,[10] leaving the club the following January by mutual consent.[11] and going on to spend parts of two seasons in the Hungarian Nemzeti Bajnokság I with Kisvárda FC.[12]
