Club career

Bonifácio was born in Mafra, Lisbon District. He never played in higher than the third division in his country, representing mainly local club C.D. Mafra where he also acted as captain.[1] in the 2015–16 season he scored a career-best 15 goals to help Atlético Clube da Malveira finish in fourth place in its group (among ten teams), also helping them to the fourth round of the Taça de Portugal whilst being crowned the competition's top scorer.[2]

From summer 2011 until January 2013, Bonifácio competed in the Cypriot Second Division. Subsequently, the 27-year-old signed with FK Vardar from the Macedonian First Football League, making his professional debut on 12 March 2013 in a 6–1 home win against KF Shkëndija where he came on as a 72nd-minute substitute.[3]

Bonifácio returned to Portugal in the 2016 off-season, joining S.C.U. Torreense. In his debut campaign, he netted six times in five games as his side reached the last-16 stage in the domestic cup – this included the only in a 1–0 defeat of Primeira Liga's C.D. Nacional, where he also missed a penalty kick.[4][5]
