In his early career, Caló bounced back between clubs in his country and in the Portuguese lower leagues. In 2000, he joined S.C. Salgueiros in the top division of the latter nation, being sparingly used over the course of two seasons and suffering relegation in his second.
Subsequently, Caló moved countries again, spending several seasons in Qatar in representation of five teams, namely Al-Ahli (Doha). In early 2010, aged nearly 34, he returned to his homeland, joining Sport Club Santa Maria, and moved to former club Sporting Clube da Praia after a few months.
Caló represented Cape Verde during nine years, his debut coming in 1997. He scored one of the national team's first ever goals in a FIFA World Cup qualification match, against Swaziland on 16 November 2003 (1–1 away draw).[1]
