After a loan stint at S.C. Farense, Araújo was released by Olhanense in January 2013 and moved back to his home country in the following month, signing for C.D. Primeiro de Agosto.[5] In June he went on a trial at Recreativo de Huelva,[6] and signed a two-year deal late in the month.[7]

Araújo made his debut for the Andalusians on 10 November, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–1 home loss against Deportivo de La Coruña in the Segunda División.[8] On 24 January of the following year, after failing to appear in any further matches, he was loaned to Elche CF Ilicitano until June;[9] he subsequently made no appearances for the latter.

In August 2014 Araújo rescinded his link with Recre, and joined Lucena CF in Segunda División B.[10] He rescinded with the club on 13 January of the following year.[11]

After a spell at Desportivo Huíla, he joined Bragantino in Brazil.[12]
