Career Born in Albufeira, Barroso developed his basketball skills from a young age, playing for his hometown club, Basquete de Albufeira. After five seasons, he moved to their cross-city rival, Imortal DC, but spent only two seasons there, before scouts took notice of him and took him to Spain.

A year later, he returned to Benfica, and helped the Reds won four league titles in a row, plus more than ten other cups, also debuting in European competitions, in the 2014–15 EuroChallenge. For the 2015–16 season, he replaced Diogo Carreira as team captain.
