Club career

edit

After beginning professionally with lowly Clube Caçadores das Taipas, Póvoa de Varzim-born Milhazes joined hometown club Varzim S.C. (in the second division). After appearing scarcely for Boavista F.C. in 2004–05's Primeira Liga, his first top-flight season, he signed with Rio Ave FC, experiencing both relegation and promotion.

In late January 2008, Milhazes joined Romanian Liga I side FC Politehnica Timișoara, first on loan.[2] After the move was made permanent, he returned to Portugal exactly one year after and signed with Vitória de Guimarães on loan until the end of the campaign, as a replacement for Jacques Momha who left for Turkey;[3] in June 2009, he agreed to a permanent contract.

On 31 July 2010, having appeared rarely for Vitória throughout the league season, Milhazes returned to Rio Ave as a free agent.[4] He finished his career well into his 30s, after spells with two teams in the Superleague Greece as well as Varzim.[5]
