Club career
Portugal
Born in Lagos, Algarve, Amado joined Sporting CP's youth system at the age of 11. He made his senior debut in 2009–10, splitting the season between two third division clubs (both on loan), including farm team Real Sport Clube. In June, he was released.[2]
For 2010–11, Amado joined U.D. Leiria of the Primeira Liga, making his debut in the competition on 15 August in a 0–0 away draw against S.C. Beira-Mar[3] and appearing in exactly half of the league matches as the team finished in tenth position. In the following campaign, he was loaned to G.D. Estoril Praia in the Segunda Liga.[4]
Sheffield Wednesday / Estoril
Amado signed a two-year contract with Sheffield Wednesday on 10 July 2012,[5] having been recommended to manager Dave Jones by José Semedo, an ex-teammate of Amado from his Sporting youth days. However, he failed to settle and left the following month, rejoining his previous club Estoril, now in the top flight.[6]
