He amassed Segunda Liga totals of 81 matches and two goals over three seasons, with Farense which he also represented at two other levels of Portuguese football. Abroad, he played in Iceland.
Club career
[edit]Bilro was born in Amadora, Lisbon District, and raised in the Algarve. He began his career as a youth with S.C. Farense, and completed his development at FC Porto.[2]
Bilro spent his first nine seasons as a senior competing in the third and fourth divisions, in representation of C.D.R. Quarteirense, F.C. da Madalena, G.D. Lagoa, Louletano DC, C.D. Pinhalnovense, GD Beira-Mar and Farense. At the end of the 2012–13 season, he achieved promotion to the Segunda Liga with the latter club.[2]
On 27 July 2013, Bilro made his debut as a professional, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 home win against C.D. Santa Clara in the first stage of the Taça da Liga.[3] His maiden appearance in the second tier took place on 21 August, when he was booked and played the entire 0–0 draw away to Leixões SC.[4] He scored his first goal in the competition on 7 December of the same year, helping the hosts to defeat S.L. Benfica B 3–1.[5]
Bilro left the Estádio de São Luís in June 2016, later remarking "It was great to play for Farense. I represented the club I love".[2] During his stint, he was nicknamed Spartacus by his teammates and also acted as team captain.[6]
Aged 31, Bilro joined Icelandic club Njarðvík FC in 2017 after a spell with S.R. Almancilense. During his short tenure, he won the 2. deild karla championship.[2]
International career
