Карьера и клубы
Born in Lisbon, Silva developed into a professional footballer with local Belenenses. In a 15-year career he only appeared in two Primeira Liga games, one with that club and another with Campomaiorense. From 2000 to 2005 he alternated between the second and third divisions, representing Trofense, Rio Ave, Braga B, Salgueiros and Odivelas. In the 2005 off-season, Silva joined Estoril, where he remained until his retirement six years later, always in the second tier. He played his last match on 2 January 2011, a 0–1 home loss against Penafiel in the group stage of the Taça da Liga. Silva retired in June at the age of 34, amassing second-division totals of 152 games and two goals for three clubs.
