He debuted in the Eredivisie in April 2003, when he came in as an substitute for Georgios Samaras. Just after his debut season, he was approached by an agent who told that Benfica was keen to sign him. He was sure that the move was real and didn't show up in Heerenveen for a while. His Dutch club decided to end his contract. Benfica didn't sign him and he had to go to play in an lower league for FC Emmen. He had problems also in Emmen and he decided to back to Angola, where the war had ended. In 2006, he played for Primeiro de Agosto in the Angolan league.
