Club career

Targino was born in Beja, Alentejo. The son of a Brazilian who played for a host of Portuguese clubs such as C.D. Beja, Portimonense S.C. and S.C. Olhanense,[1][2] he started his professional career in 2004 with Vitória de Guimarães, having joined their youth academy two years before. He made his Primeira Liga debut on 12 December 2004, appearing in a 1–3 away loss against F.C. Penafiel,[3] and finished his debut season with two first-team goals, notably in a 1–0 home win over S.C. Beira-Mar, scoring in the 90th minute.[4]

In January 2008, Targino was loaned to Turkish Süper Lig's Manisaspor.[5] He had started the campaign with Vitória, netting in a 1–0 home defeat of C.D. Nacional on 17 September 2007,[6] but received relatively little playing time.

After the season's end, Targino was again loaned, joining Danish Superliga side Randers FC.[5][7] He made his team debut against Brøndby IF as a late substitute in a 3–0 away win,[8] again coming from the bench in the next game with FC Nordsjælland. After teammate Mikkel Beckmann was injured against FC Midtjylland, he featured in the starting lineup the following three matches, as a right winger; he scored his only league goal in a 2–0 away win, also against Midtjylland.[9]

Targino returned to Guimarães for 2009–10 but, midway through the campaign, suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury which put him out of action for nearly one year.[10] On 8 November 2010, in his second game after returning, he came from the bench and scored twice to help his team come from behind to win it 3–2 at Sporting CP, the Minho club's first win in Lisbon in 14 years.[10]
