Club career

Portugal

Born in Galegos (São Martinho), Barcelos, São Bento played youth football with four clubs, including local Santa Maria F.C. from ages 9–16. His senior debut was made with Varzim SC, in the third division.

In 2013, São Bento signed with S.C. Farense of the Segunda Liga. His first match in the competition occurred on 11 May 2014, in a 1–2 away loss against S.C. Beira-Mar[1] which was his only appearance of the season.

In the 2015–16 campaign, São Bento only missed three matches in 46 but the Algarve side finished in 20th position and were relegated.[2] In January 2016, he was voted Best Young Player for the previous month.[3]

On 31 May 2016, São Bento joined C.D. Nacional on a four-year contract.[4] Nearly one year later, as his team had already been relegated, he made his Primeira Liga debut, replacing the habitual starter Adriano Facchini midway through the second half of the 2–2 away draw to Boavista FC.[5]

São Bento returned to the second tier for 2017–18, agreeing to a deal at S.C. Covilhã.[6]

Xanthi

On 14 June 2019, São Bento moved abroad for the first time in his career, signing a contract with Xanthi FC.[7]

gollark: 22W or whatever is probably a very optimistic estimate too.
