Born in Setúbal, Chaby joined Sporting Clube de Portugal's youth system at the age of 12, from local Vitória FC.

Oliveirense.
On 20 January 2015, Chaby was loaned to C.F. União of the second tier until the end of the season, and he started in 14 of his appearances for the club as it achieved promotion to the Primeira Liga after more than two decades, scoring in a 3–1 away win over S.L. Benfica B on 1 March. On 30 August, he returned to Madeira until the end of the campaign, also on loan.
