A product of his hometown club Benfica's youth system, Lisbon-born Lima was promoted to the first team for the 2007–08 season. In January 2008, however, he and teammates Miguel Vítor and Romeu Ribeiro were loaned to Aves in the Segunda Liga, with the move being extended for the entirety of the following campaign. Lima moved to Vitória de Setúbal for 2009–10, also on loan. He made his Primeira Liga debut on 17 August 2009, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–0 home draw against Vitória de Guimarães. He appeared in 24 of the league's 30 games (22 starts), as the Sadinos barely avoided relegation. After his contract with Benfica ended, Lima signed for Beira-Mar, recently returned to the top division.

In June 2011, Lima moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Hajduk Split in the Croatian Football League. He quickly became first-choice at his new club.
