Belenenses Betinho signed a four-year contract with C.F. Os Belenenses on 12 August 2015, with Sporting retaining 60% of his economic rights. Having played only 350 minutes, he was loaned back to his former club five months later; this was his only possible destination having already represented them in the first game of the season.

On 11 August 2017, after having featured just three times in the preceding campaign, Betinho was lent to another second-tier team, C.F. União. Sixteen days later, he scored on his debut in a 2–2 home draw with Sporting B, having been put on at half-time by manager Paulo Alves.

Betinho left the Estádio do Restelo temporarily again in July 2018, for Lusitânia F.C. in his hometown.

Espinho After reaching an agreement with Sporting and Belenenses, S.C. Espinho signed Betinho on 23 July 2019.

International career Betinho represented Portugal from under-15 to under-21 level. He had a prolific spell with the under-19 side, scoring 14 goals in 20 games and topping the 2012 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification chart at ten. He scored twice in the finals, with the national team exiting in the group stage.

Betinho was part of the squad that competed in the 2013 Toulon Tournament, helping the team to a fourth-place finish in spite of failing to score in three appearances. He made his debut for the under-21s on 5 September of that year, starting and netting in a 5–1 home rout of Norway in the 2015 European Under-21 Championship qualifiers.
