Club career

Born in

all on loan from Portuguese 1st Division team S.C Olhanense. He was then called up for Portuguese National under 21 team in which they had a victory over Ireland and a draw against Denmark. In January 2013 he signed with 2nd Division Greek club

In the summer of 2014, after joining one season with former Second division (Championship) side Farense, Silva was linked to 1st Division Portuguese team Braga but completed a move abroad again, joining 1st Division team Zawisza Bydgoszcz. Here he won his first trophy, the Polish Supercup, and made his debut in the Europa league the same season against Zulte from Belgium.[2]

Ahead of the 2015 season in Norway, Silva joined the Norwegian Premiership team

Bodø/Glimt. Silva failed his medical examination when joining Bodø/Glimt and was sent back to Spain. But Bodø/Glimt changed their mind and signed him anyway before the transfer window closed. Silva needed time to reach match fitness and didn't get his opportunity. His only obligatory game for Bodø/Glimt was as a substitute in the 2nd round match against Mjølner in the Norwegian Cup. In August 2015 Silva and Bodø/Glimt agreed to terminate his contract so he could join Viktoria 1889 Berlin.[3]

In July 2021 he signed with Lithuanian club DFK Dainava.[4][5] He made his debut in A Lyga on 19 July 2021 against FK Riteriai and scored the first goal while Dainava won 2–1.[6][7]
