Port Vale Kiko signed a two-year contract with EFL League One club Port Vale in July 2016 after being recruited by former Vitória Setúbal coach Bruno Ribeiro. He began the 2016–17 season out injured after damaging his Achilles in pre-season; his injury left Vale without a specialist full-back as Adam Yates also picked up an injury in pre-season. He made his first-team debut for the "Valiants" on 30 August, in a 1–0 win over Derby County U23 in the EFL Trophy. However, Ribeiro resigned in December, and caretaker manager Michael Brown signed Scott Tanser to play at left-back, leaving Kiko out of the first-team for the first six weeks of 2017. He left Port Vale following the club's relegation in May 2017 after he and Brown came to a mutual agreement to end his contract.

Return to Portugal Kiko returned to Portugal and signed with LigaPro club Académico Viseu in July 2017. He made 23 appearances during the 2017–18 campaign as Académico posted a fifth-place finish.

On 30 May 2018, Kiko signed with LigaPro rivals Arouca. However, Cypriot club Doxa Katokopias claimed that he had also signed a contract with them, and said they would pursue legal action with FIFA. He remained with Arouca, and made 31 appearances during the 2018–19 season, picking up ten yellow cards, as Arouquenses were relegated to the Campeonato de Portugal.

Cyprus Kiko joined Cypriot First Division club Olympiakos Nicosia in July 2019. He scored two goals in 23 games during the 2019–20 season, which was abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Cyprus.

He joined league rivals Omonia in July 2020. Henning Berg led Omonia to the Cypriot championship at the end of the 2020–21 season. However, Kiko played just seven league games. Kiko featured 18 times in the 2021–22 campaign and was given a start by manager Neil Lennon in the final of the Cypriot Cup as Omonoia defeated Ethnikos Achna on penalties following a 0–0 draw. He left the club in May 2022.

Kiko remained in the Cypriot First Division as on 6 July 2022, he signed a two-year contract with Anorthosis Famagusta. He played 17 games in the 2022–23 campaign, scoring one goal.
