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, including farm team Real Sport Clube; in June, he was released by the Lions.
For 2010–11, Amado joined U.D. Leiria in the Primeira Liga, making his debut in the competition on 15 August in a 0–0 away draw against S.C. Beira-Mar 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 second level.

Sheffield Wednesday / Estoril

On 10 July 2012, Amado signed a two-year contract with Sheffield Wednesday, 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 Owls the following month, rejoining his previous club Estoril, now in the top flight.
