Club career

Portugal / Holland

Born in Lisbon, Vasconcelos played for three teams early in his career, including the reserves of local club S.L. Benfica. In the 2002–03 season he helped F.C. Alverca return to the Primeira Liga after one year of absence, scoring once and appearing in less than half of the league's matches.

In January 2004, after solid performances with S.C.U. Torreense in the third division, Vasconcelos moved to the Netherlands and signed with RKC Waalwijk in the Eredivisie, netting four goals to help the North Brabant side retain their top-level status. Subsequently, he returned to his country with U.D. Leiria, for what would be his only Portuguese top flight experience – after only two matches (36 minutes), he returned to his previous team in the following transfer window.

Cyprus

Vasconcelos left RKC in the summer of 2005, then played one year in Portugal with G.D. Estoril Praia. He then moved to Cyprus and signed for APOP Kinyras FC, scoring at an impressive rate in the division two and adding 12 in 26 games in his first season in the Cypriot First Division, which he split between APOP and AC Omonia.

Vasconcelos returned to APOP for the 2008–09 campaign, helping the team win the domestic cup as he netted in the semi-finals against APOEL FC. Afterwards, he left the club but remained in the Paphos District, signing for AEP Paphos FC.

In the 2010 off-season, Vasconcelos joined Hapoel Be'er Sheva F.C. in Israel, but he returned to former side AEP Paphos in January of the following year. He scored seven goals in only 14 appearances, but they suffered relegation from the top tier.

In June 2011, Vasconcelos signed for Alki Larnaca FC. He was crowned the league's top scorer in his second year at 18 goals, but the team could only rank ninth.

After a stint in Poland with Zawisza Bydgoszcz, Vasconcelos returned to Cyprus in late 2014 by signing a one-and-a-half year contract with Doxa Katokopias FC.[1]

gollark: There are very something arguments regarding rights to have children, but it seems reasonable to force people to genetically modify/embryo-select their children to remove genetic diseases once the technology matures.
gollark: There may end up being some intervening time in the middle.
gollark: It's executing not-yet-children, mostly.
gollark: With increasing automation and reliance on intellectual work to design such automation things, what if they stop being that?
gollark: Just genetically modify the genetic diseases genetically out, obviously.
