During eight years of his senior career, Palmeiro played with first division giants S.L. Benfica, leaving the club in 1961, after the emergence of future club and Portuguese national team legend Eusébio.
On 3 June 1956, he gained the first of his three caps for Portugal, in a friendly with Spain in Lisbon, and scored all of the team's goals in a 3–1 win.
