Bura

Later career Bura rescinded his Porto contract in August 2011, and signed for fellow top-flight team S.C. Beira-Mar. In July 2013, he joined G.D. Chaves who had just been promoted to division two and, a year later, was added to the ranks of F.C. Penafiel of the top tier.

In July 2015, after Penafiel's relegation as dead last, Bura moved to second-tier club Académico de Viseu F.C. on a three-year deal. He scored a career-best 11 goals in his second season there, including a brace in a 3–3 away draw against C.F. União on 12 November 2016 (through penalty kicks).

Bura returned to Leixões after 14 years away on 1 June 2018, on a two-year contract; he was signed by his former Académico manager Francisco Chaló, and had been close to joining a year earlier. He alternated between the second and third divisions the following seasons, with Chaves, C.D. Mafra, U.D. Leiria and U.D. Oliveirense.

International career Bura earned 38 caps for Portugal from under-18 to under-23 level. He was part of the under-19 team at the 2007 UEFA European Championship in Austria, and scored in a 2–0 win over the hosts though other results eliminated the team from the group.
