He reached the National Squad making his first game on the 4th June 1964, in a game from Nations Cup at Brasil, in a 1-1 draw against England. He reached his peek at 1965/66, where he was the leader of the amazing defence SCP hat at the time, alongside Morais, José Carlos and Hilário.

He played 153 games for SCP, scoring 3 times and winning 2 National Championships and one Portugal Cup.
