Club career
editBorn in São João da Madeira, Neves came through the ranks of hometown club A.D. Sanjoanense and made his senior debut with the team in the fourth division in 2009–10, in which his team was relegated. In 2012, he moved to C.D. Cinfães, helping them to second place in the third tier in his only season.
Afterwards, Neves enjoyed two campaigns as a professional with C.D. Aves in the Segunda Liga. He played his first match in the competition on 11 August 2013 in a 0–2 home loss against C.F. União where he featured the 90 minutes,[2] and scored his first goal the following weekend, helping the visitors to a 1–1 draw at U.D. Oliveirense.[3]
Neves dropped back to division three in the summer of 2015, by returning to Sanjoanense.[4] He spent the rest of his career at that level, with S.C. Salgueiros,[5] S.C. Freamunde,[6] Cinfães again, F.C. Felgueiras 1932, C.D.C. Montalegre[7] and Sanjoanense.[8]
