Club career
[edit]B-SAD
[edit]Born in Nazaré, Leiria District, played youth football for three clubs. He made his senior debut in the third division, spending one season apiece with Caldas S.C. and S.C.U. Torreense.[2]
On 4 April 2018, Esgaio moved straight to the Primeira Liga after signing a three-year contract with B-SAD to be made effective on 1 July.[3] He was then loaned to Torreense for the upcoming third-tier campaign.[4]
Back at Belenenses, Esgaio played his first match in the Portuguese top flight on 15 September 2019, coming on as a late substitute in a 3–1 away win against C.S. Marítimo.[5][2] He scored his first goal in the competition two weeks later, but in a 3–1 loss at F.C. Famalicão.[6]
Braga and Arouca
[edit]On 23 June 2021, Esgaio joined S.C. Braga on a four-year deal.[7] Two months later, he was loaned to F.C. Arouca also of the top tier for the season;[8] the move was extended for 2022–23.[9] He scored his first goal for the latter club on 22 December 2022, equalising an eventual 2–1 away victory over Moreirense F.C. in the quarter-finals of the Taça da Liga.[10]
In June 2023, Esgaio was loaned to Arouca for another year.[11] In summer 2024, he was released by Braga and signed a permanent three-year contract for a €200,000 fee.[12]
