Toy spent the bulk of his professional career in his adopted country, Portugal, first starting in amateur football. In 1999, he signed with first division giants S.L. Benfica, but played mainly with its reserves during his two-year spell.
Toy represented mainly S.C. Olhanense, first arriving at the Algarve club in 2004, then returning in the 2007 summer, after a spell in Saudi Arabia. In 2008–09, in the second level, he contributed with six goals as Olhanense returned to the top flight after a 34-year absence.
In the following three first division seasons, Toy was relatively used by the Algarve club, mainly as a substitute.
Toy opted to represent Cape Verde internationally, receiving his first callup at nearly 31, in May 2008.[1]
