Football career

Curto spent eight years in S.L. Benfica's youth system, where he operated as a forward. In the following years, however, he played in a more defensive position.

After several seasons in the lower leagues, Curto joined G.D. Estoril Praia in the second division. In 2010–11, he made his top level debut, with Associação Naval 1º de Maio, his first match occurring on 24 September 2010, as he played 10 minutes in a 1–3 away loss against S.C. Braga.

On 20 March 2011, Curto scored twice from the penalty kick spot to help hosts Naval come from behind 0–2 to earn a 2–2 draw against S.C. Beira-Mar, but the Figueira da Foz outfit eventually suffered relegation, returning to division two after a six-year stay.
