Cláudio Zélito Fonseca Fernandes Aguiar, aka Lito (born 3 February 1975 in Pedra Badejo, Santiago), is a Cape Verdean footballer who plays for F.C. Arouca mainly as a forward.
Lito played his entire football career in Portugal, playing in nearly every level. He started out with Águias de Camarate in the regional leagues of Lisbon, going on to represent A.D. Fafe, S.C. Espinho, Imortal de Albufeira and F.C. Maia.
In 2003–04, at the age of 28, Lito made his top division debuts, with Moreirense FC. After suffering relegation in his second year, he stayed in the division, signing for Associação Naval 1º de Maio.
Aged 32, Lito joined Académica de Coimbra, enjoying his best seasons in his first two years (17 league goals combined, including a hat-trick in a 3–3 home draw against C.F. Estrela da Amadora, on 4 November 2007). After still being an important offensive unit in the 2009–10 season, again helping the Students maintain their top division status, he moved to freshly promoted Portimonense SC, for an undisclosed fee.[1]
