Club career

Almeida is a youth product of Bairro Francos, Santa Cruz FC, Padroense and Paços de Ferreira.

In the summer of 2019, Almeida transferred to Trofense in the same division. He became a mainstay, and in his fourth season with the club helped them win the 2020–21 Campeonato de Portugal, earning promotion to the Liga Portugal 2.[2]

After a strong debut season in the second division, on 12 August 2022, Almeida earned a loan to Primeira Liga club Santa Clara for the 2022–23 season.[3] After Santa Clara's relegation to the Liga Portugal 2, Almeida signed a three-year contract with the club.[4]
