Freamunde
Born in Cristelo (Paredes), Pedrinho moved from his hometown club FC Cristelo to S.C. Freamunde at the age of 11. He made his professional debut in the Segunda Liga on 22 January 2012, as a substitute for Bock in the last three minutes of a 3–0 home win against U.D. Oliveirense. He began playing regularly in the 2013–14 season as the side won the third division, and scored the decisive goal in the 3–2 victory over Clube Oriental de Lisboa in the final on 10 June. Pedrinho scored his first goal in a professional league on 9 August 2014, as the campaign opened with a 1–0 win at home to Atlético Clube de Portugal. In 2015–16, he was the league's joint sixth highest scorer with a career-best 13 as his team came fifth; this included two goals on 23 January in a 3–0 defeat of visitors Vitória S.C. B.

Paços Ferreira
In July 2016, Pedrinho signed a four-year contract at nearby F.C. Paços de Ferreira in the Primeira Liga. In his third top-flight game, he scored twice in a 5–3 loss at Vitória de Guimarães. In 2018–19, he captained the team led by promotion specialist Vítor Oliveira to the second division title; he scored once on 13 January to conclude a 3–0 win at C.D. Cova da Piedade. Riga
At the end of July 2020, out-of-contract Pedrinho headed abroad for the first time, to Riga FC in Latvia.

He ended the year as a Higher League winner. Gil Vicente
On 23 January 2021, Pedrinho returned to his country's top flight on an 18-month deal at Gil Vicente FC.
