Club career

Born in Tarrafal, Janício started playing football for local Club Desportivo Amabox Barcelona Tarrafal, moving in 2001 to Portugal with C.F. Estrela da Amadora but failing to make any official appearances for the second division club. He continued playing in the country in the following three seasons, representing S.C.U. Torreense in the third level.

In the 2005–06 campaign, Janício moved straight into the Primeira Liga with Vitória de Setúbal, appearing in 32 games in his first year as the side – who at one point ranked as the team with the fewest goals conceded in the major European leagues – finished in eighth position, amidst serious financial problems. In his third season he played 37 official matches (3,214 minutes of action), helping the Sadinos to win the inaugural Portuguese League Cup.[1]

In the summer of 2009, Janício signed a two-year contract with Anorthosis Famagusta FC of the Cypriot First Division.
