Career

Born in Salvador, Bahia, Menezes is a youth product of Esporte Clube Vitória, playing for two seasons with their under-20 side and helping them win the Copa do Brasil Sub-20 in 2012.[1] On 3 January 2014, he joined S.C. Braga, in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, being immediately assigned to their B-team.[2][3]

Menezes made his professional debut on 9 March 2014 in home draw against Penafiel.[4] After two years with Braga, he signed with Merelinense from the Campeonato de Portugal.[5]

On 30 May 2018, Agdon signed a two-year contract at LigaPro club U.D. Oliveirense.[6] With 13 goals, he was the top scorer of the 2019–20 season, which was curtailed with 11 games remaining by the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]
