Club career

Born in Arouca, Aveiro District, Capela started playing with local F.C. Arouca, going on to part of the squads that promoted from the regional leagues to the Portuguese Second Division in just two years. After two more seasons in amateur football, with G.D. Milheiroense, he moved straight to the Segunda Liga after signing for Leixões SC, making his debut in the competition on 21 August 2011 in a 1–0 away win against Associação Naval 1º de Maio.[1]

In the following years, Capela continued competing in the second level, joining F.C. Penafiel on 11 June 2014[2] and scoring the game's only goal in just his third Primeira Liga appearance, at former club Arouca.[3]
