On 26 January 2015,
Benfica announced that Rochinha had been loaned to English club

Rochinha signed a three-year contract with Belgian side
Standard Liège on 30 July 2015.[8] On 26 December 2016, after several months without a team, he returned to his country and joined
Boavista for an undisclosed fee.[9] His first game in the
Primeira Liga took place on 4 February 2017 when he played injury time in a 0–0 draw at
Chaves,[10] and his first goal came early into
the following season but in a 2–1 defeat against
Portimonense.[11]
On 30 January 2019, Rochinha agreed to a four-and-a-half-year deal at
Vitória de Guimarães in the same league.[12] He scored 19 times during his spell at the
Estádio D. Afonso Henriques, adding 17 assists in 122 competitive matches.[13]
On 6 July 2022, Rochinha joined
Sporting CP on a four-year contract for €2 million, with Vitória being entitled to 10% of a future transfer.[14][15] One year later, he was loaned to
