Targino was born in Beja , Alentejo . The son of a Brazilian who played for a host of Portuguese clubs such as C.D. Beja , Portimonense S.C. and S.C. Olhanense ,[ 2] [ 3] he started his professional career in 2004 with Vitória de Guimarães , having joined their youth academy two years before. He made his Primeira Liga debut on 12 December 2004 in a 3–1 away win against F.C. Penafiel ,[ 4] and finished his first season with two goals, notably in a 1–0 home victory over S.C. Beira-Mar where he scored in the 90th minute .[ 5] [ 6]
In January 2008, Targino was loaned to Turkish Süper Lig 's Manisaspor .[ 7] He had started the campaign with Vitória, netting in a 1–0 home defeat of C.D. Nacional on 17 September 2007, but received relatively little playing time.[ 8] [ 9]
On 11 July 2008, Targino was again loaned, joining Danish Superliga side Randers FC .[ 10] [ 7] He made his league debut against Brøndby IF as a late substitute in a 3–0 away win,[ 11] [ 12] again coming from the bench in the next game with FC Nordsjælland . After teammate Mikkel Beckmann was injured against FC Midtjylland , he featured in the starting lineup the following three matches, as a right winger .[ 13] He scored his only goal on 19 April 2009, in a 2–0 victory at the same opponent.[ 14]
Targino returned to Guimarães for 2009–10 but, midway through the season, suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury which put him out of action for nearly one year.[ 15] [ 16] On 8 November 2010, in his second appearance after returning, he came from the bench and scored twice to help his team come from behind to win 3–2 at Sporting CP , the Minho club's first win in Lisbon in 14 years.[ 17] [ 16]
Targino' last season in the Portuguese top tier was 2012–13 , with Olhanense.[ 18] The following was spent in the Cypriot First Division with AEL Limassol after leaving the Algarve due to unpaid wages[ 19] and, subsequently, from the age of 28 until his retirement, he played mostly in the Portuguese amateur leagues, with a brief spell in the Andorran Primera Divisió as well.[ 20] [ 21] [ 22]
International career
On 11 September 2007, Targino won his first cap for Portugal at under-21 level , when he replaced Paulo Machado early into the second half of an eventual 4–0 win against Montenegro in the 2009 UEFA European Championship qualifiers .[ 23] The following month, against the same adversary and in the same stage, he scored his only goal (2–1 victory in Podgorica ).[ 24]
