Club career

Born in Lamego, Viseu District, Machado joined U.S.C. Paredes in 1999, aged only six. In 2009, while still a junior, he made his senior debut, playing two fourth-division games with the club.[2]

In the summer of 2010, Machado signed for S.C. Freamunde, where he completed his development.[2] He was promoted to the first team for the 2011–12 season, playing his first match in the Segunda Liga on 25 September 2011, a 1–0 away loss against C.F. Os Belenenses.[3]

On 5 July 2014, Machado agreed to a two-year contract at another second-tier side, C.D. Tondela.[4] He scored two goals[5][6] in 26 matches in his first year, as they reached the Primeira Liga for the first time in 82 years of history.[7]

Machado made his debut in the Portuguese top flight on 14 August 2015, starting in a 1–2 home defeat to Sporting CP.[8] In the following transfer window, however, he returned to division two after joining C.D. Feirense on a short-term deal.[9] After achieving promotion and renewing his contract,[10] he went on to spend a further three campaigns with the team, being relegated at the end of 2018–19 and subsequently released.[11]

In the 2019 off-season, Machado signed a three-year contract with Moreirense FC.[12] He moved abroad for the first time in his career in September 2020, joining NorthEast United FC of the Indian Super League.[13] In his only season, he netted braces in the 2–2 draw at Bengaluru FC[14] and the 3–1 home win over Odisha FC.[15]

Machado joined Polish Ekstraklasa club Radomiak Radom in summer 2021.[16] On 5 July 2024, he moved to the Hong Kong Premier League with Kitchee SC.[17][18]
