Benfica's youth system[1][2] he made his senior debut on 18 October 2005, during a UEFA Champions League group stage game at Villarreal CF, after an early injury to Quim.[3] Four days later he made his league debut, as the same thing happened during a 2–0 home win against C.F. Estrela da Amadora;[4] additionally he again featured against the Spaniards in the Champions League group phase, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–1 home loss.[5]
As habitual backup José Moreira was also injured Nereu, who had also played with the club's B-side before its extinction, went on to appear in another two matches. In 2007 he was sold to Académica de Coimbra,[6] backing up veteran Pedro Roma in his first season; however, after the purchase of Slovak Boris Peškovič, he was further demoted to third-choice.
From January 2011-June 2012 Nereu represented F.C. Arouca in the second division,[7] appearing in 14 games in his only full campaign. He subsequently alternated between his country's second and third levels.
