Career
Born in São Paulo, Amorim is arrived in Portugal in 2009, joining the reserve side of C.S. Marítimo, then competing in the third tier.
Two seasons later, he went on loan to Desportivo de Aves and made his professional debut at 2 October 2011, in a home win against Arouca.[1] eventually becoming an undisputed starter, when he signed as permanent player for the Aves-side.[2]
On 17 January 2014, Amorim moved to Paços de Ferreira,[2] becoming a constant challenger for the starting line-up, but suffering an injury plagued season in 2014-15.[3][4] On 3 June 2015, he moved to Qatar, joining Mesaimeer.[5] However, just six-months later, he returned to Portugal to play for Belenenses.[6] After another six-months, he traded clubs again and signed with Tondela.[7]
