Nuno Rocha

Marítimo

Born in Praia, Rocha moved to Portugal with C.S. Marítimo for his last year as a junior. He spent the vast majority of his first three senior seasons with the reserves, competing with them in both the second and third divisions. Rocha made his Primeira Liga debut with the first team on 7 October 2013, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 away loss against Vitória de Guimarães. He scored his first goal in the competition the following 16 February, the game's only at home to Vitória de Setúbal.

Universitatea Craiova

In June 2014, Rocha signed with Romanian club CS Universitatea Craiova. His maiden appearance in Liga I took place on 25 July, as he came on as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 home draw with CS Pandurii Târgu Jiu. In the 2015–16 season, Rocha scored a career-best nine goals to help his team to finish in eighth position. His teammates included compatriots Kay and Rambé, and he was released from contract on 11 April 2017.

Tosno

On 7 June 2017, Rocha joined Russian Premier League side FC Tosno on a three-year deal. He helped them win the domestic cup in his only season, scoring the decisive penalty kick in the semi-final shootout against FC Spartak Moscow and also being featured in the decisive match against FC Avangard Kursk at the Volgograd Arena.

Rocha earned his first cap for Cape Verde on 6 September 2014, in a 3–1 away win over Niger for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Selected for the finals by manager Rui Águas, he took part in all three group-phase games, which ended in draw and subsequent elimination. On 1 September 2017, Rocha scored twice to hand his team a 2–1 defeat of South Africa, their first ever win against their African counterparts.
