Club career

Fidalgo was born in Caniçal. A youth product of C.D. Nacional he moved into the first team in 2000, but only managed a combined 18 appearances in his first two seasons. Afterwards, he served three consecutive loan stints, two of those with Madeiran neighbours A.D. Camacha and C.F. União in the third division; in between, he spent the 2006–07 campaign with Cyprus' AEK Larnaca FC.

In 2009–10 another loan ensued, now to Académica de Coimbra, alongside teammate Bruno Amaro.[1] For the following season the move was made permanent, and he scored on his league debut on 15 August 2010, helping shock-defeat title holders S.L. Benfica 2–1 away from home;[2] he finished the campaign as the Students' top scorer, in a narrow escape from relegation from the Primeira Liga.[3]
