Duda (Portuguese footballer)

Having grown through the ranks of Vitória de Guimarães, Duda had not yet played one single competitive senior game, when he was sold to Cádiz CF, then in the third-tier of Spanish football. In 2001–02, he switched to top flight Málaga CF and, after a loan move to Segunda División Levante UD, was everpresent in a team that achieved two consecutive 10th league places, also appearing in the UEFA Cup via the Intertoto.

In 2005–06, involved in a bitter contract dispute, Duda featured scarcely throughout the season as Málaga was relegated and, during the summer joined Andalusia neighbours Sevilla FC. Incidentally, his arrival coincided with the emergence of another left-footed player, Antonio Puerta (whom played as either left back or midfielder); after Puerta's demise the following season, Duda also played backup, to Diego Capel.

With Capel firmly established as first-choice, Duda was loaned for 2008–09 to an old acquaintance, Málaga, in August 2008. During the season, he was an instrumental offensive element as the club narrowly missed on UEFA Cup qualification, with countryman Eliseu often playing in the other wing.
In late August 2009, after intense negotiations, Duda moved permanently to Málaga on a four-year contract, with Sevilla benefitting from a percentage of any future sale.
