Club career

Braga

Amador was born in Santa Iria de Azóia, Loures, Lisbon District. He played youth football for three clubs, including Sporting CP from ages 8–14.[2]

Amador started his senior career in the lower leagues, with S.U. 1º de Dezembro. On 31 January 2018 he joined S.C. Braga, signing a three-and-a-half-year contract and being assigned to their reserves in the LigaPro.[3]

On 31 March 2018, Amador made his professional debut with Braga B, playing the entire 1–1 away draw against Varzim S.C. and being booked.[4] He scored his first goal in the second division on 19 January 2019, in a 3–1 home victory over F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[5]

Amador's maiden appearance in the Primeira Liga with the first team occurred on 23 February 2020, when he came on as a first-half substitute for the injured Nuno Sequeira in an eventual 3–1 home defeat of Vitória de Setúbal.[6][7] He made his first start on 6 March 2020 in another fixture at the Estádio Municipal de Braga that ended in a 3–1 win, now against Portimonense SC.[8]

Moreirense

On 14 August 2020, Amador signed a four-year contract with Moreirense F.C. of the same league.[9]
