[edit]

Born in Freamunde, Porto District, Luís Pedro started his career with local S.C. Freamunde. He spent six seasons with the club in the second division, making his debut in the competition on 4 May 2008 in 2–4 home loss against C.D. Aves (21 minutes played).

In the summer of 2013, Luís Pedro was due to sign for C.D.

Feirense on 29 December to keep his team in first place.[5]

Luís Pedro went back to his hometown club in June 2014, on a one-year contract.[6] He was an undisputed started during his second spell, then moved to F.C. Penafiel for the next two years.[7]

After becoming a free agent in June 2019, the 30-year-old Luís Pedro switched to Varzim S.C. again in the second tier for the upcoming season.[8] In late October, he was reported to be the active player with most overall appearances in the competition ahead of Jorge Pires.[9]
