Pedroto was born in Almacave, Lamego, Portugal. A right midfielder, he played for Leixões SC, Lusitano, Belenenses and FC Porto. He was capped 17 times for Portugal, 1 with Belenenses and 16 with FC Porto. His first game was on April 20, 1954, a 3–0 loss to France, in a friendly match, and his last game, on December 22, 1957, a 3–0 loss to the Italy, in Milan, in a World Cup qualifying match.

His career continued in style in Académica Coimbra, where he was replaced by Mário Wilson, Varzim SC (after being sacked by Leixões), and in 1969 he had his first stint with Porto, winning a domestic cup. After that, he went to Vitória Setúbal.

Four years later, in 1974 Pedroto joined Porto side Boavista FC, winning two cups and reaching a second place in the league. In 1978, he returned to Porto, which had been in a 19-year title drought.
