Club career

edit

Portugal

edit

Born in Barreiro, Setúbal District, Matias finished his youth career at Sporting CP.[3][4] He never represented the first team officially as a senior, being consecutively loaned to Varzim SC,[5] C.D. Fátima[6] and Real SC, with all the clubs but the third competing in the Segunda Liga.[7]

Matias signed with Vitória S.C. in the summer of 2010, being immediately loaned to S.C. Freamunde of the second division for two years.[8] He subsequently returned to Guimarães, making his debut in the Primeira Liga on 19 August 2012 by coming on as a 62nd-minute substitute in a 0–0 home draw against Sporting,[9] and finished his first season with 20 scoreless appearances.

Matias scored his first goal in the Portuguese top flight on 31 August 2013, but in a 1–4 home loss to Vitória de Setúbal.[10] On 19 July 2014 he joined C.D. Nacional of the same league,[11] netting 21 times from 42 competitive games to help the Madeirans to the seventh position.[12][13][14][15]

Sheffield Wednesday

edit

In July 2015, Matias signed a four-year deal with Championship club Sheffield Wednesday.[16] His first goal came in his fourth league appearance on 22 August, the 1–1 draw against Leeds United – a volley from 18 yards that flew in off the underside of the bar.[17][18]

Matias was released at the end of the 2018–19 season.[19][20] His spell at the Hillsborough Stadium was bothered by several injury problems.[21][22]

Return to Nacional

edit

On 26 January 2021, Matias returned to Nacional on a five-month contract, from fellow top-tier side B-SAD.[15]

International career

edit

Matias won five caps for the Portugal under-21 team. His first came on 11 July 2009, as he played the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 loss against Cape Verde in the Lusofonia Games.[23]
