Club career
Born in Vila Real, Portugal to Angolan parents, Linares started playing football for SC Vila Real, finishing his formation with Boavista FC. He made his senior debuts with another northern club, Gondomar S.C. in the third division, finishing the campaign with fellow league outfit S.C. Olhanense.
In the following four seasons, Linares continued to play in the third level, but also competed in division two with Leça F.C. and A.D. Ovarense. On early morning 16 May 2005 he was involved in a traffic accident with four other players, most notably José Bosingwa and Nélson Marcos, but suffered only minor injuries.[1]
After one year in Oman, Linares then played in the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1 with CA Bordj Bou Arréridj, spending three seasons with the club. Subsequently, he returned to the land of his ancestors and signed for Progresso Associação do Sambizanga.
International career
Linares was part of the Angolan squad at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations. There, on 22 January, at the age of almost 30, he made his international debut, playing the last seconds of the 2–1 group stage win against Burkina Faso.[2]
