Football career
During his early years, Dady played professionally with modest outfits in the Portuguese lower leagues, after unsuccessful stints with Boavista F.C. and Sporting Clube de Portugal. In 2005–06, he started the season with second division side G.D. Estoril Praia but, after solid performances, attracted the attention of top level C.F. Os Belenenses.
His first match in the first division would be on January 14, 2006, in a 0–1 home loss to Sporting. After an uneventful first half-season, Dady would be a key offensive figure in 2006–07, scoring on 12 occasions as Belenenses finished fifth and qualified for the UEFA Cup.
In August 2007, Dady signed with La Liga outfit CA Osasuna.[1] Not an undisputed starter in his first season, he still finished as the Navarrese side's top goalscorer, helping it barely avoid relegation. In the following two campaigns, he featured even less regularly, due to injuries and the resurrection of veteran Uruguayan Walter Pandiani.
In the 2010 summer, Dady signed with Turkish outfit Bucaspor, being released on 30 December and returning to Portugal in the following transfer window.
