Club career
Nacional
Born in Águas Santas, Maia, Porto District, Silva began his development at local F.C. Maia before completing it at C.D. Nacional, whom he joined in 2012. He made his professional debut on 26 January 2014 in a dead rubber Taça da Liga group match at Leixões SC, keeping a clean sheet in a 2–0 victory.[1] His Primeira Liga debut came on 11 May in the final fixture away against Gil Vicente FC, giving away and conceding the penalty from which Diogo Viana scored the only goal.[2]
Silva eventually became first-choice for the Manuel Machado-led team, overtaking Brazilian Eduardo Gottardi.[3]
Granada
On 27 January 2017, Silva signed a four-and-a-half-year contract at Spanish La Liga club Granada CF, as a replacement for Levante UD-bound Oier Olazábal.[4]
International career
Silva earned his sole cap for the Portugal under-21 side on 13 November 2014, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–3 away friendly defeat against England.[5]
