Club career edit

Fausto was born in Miranda do Corvo, Coimbra District. An unsuccessful youth graduate at FC Porto, he began his professional career with Académica de Coimbra, but never appeared officially for the team, going on to serve loans at third division sides G.D. Tourizense and Anadia FC.[2]

In July 2008, Fausto moved to Bulgaria with FC Lokomotiv Mezdra in the First Professional Football League, failing to score as the club finished in eighth position. In the following years, he played in Cyprus and Switzerland.[3]
