Club career

Born in Buarcos, Figueira da Foz, Pedro Nuno finished his youth spell with local Académica de Coimbra, joining the club at the age of 17. On 16 August 2014, he made his first-team – and Primeira Liga – debut, coming on as a 90th-minute substitute for Richard Ofori in a 1–1 home draw against Sporting CP.[1] He scored his first goal the following 23 May 2015 for the last matchday, a 2–4 loss to Vitória S.C. also at the Estádio Cidade de Coimbra.[2]

Pedro Nuno netted four times in only 12 games in the 2015–16 season, but his team returned to the Segunda Liga after a 14-year stay.[3] On 28 November 2016 he signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with defending champions S.L. Benfica,[4] joining C.D. Tondela in a loan deal nine days later.[5]

On 9 July 2018, Pedro Nuno cut ties with the Estádio da Luz-based club and joined Moreirense F.C. for three seasons.[6]
