Club career

Organista was born in Vila do Conde. A product of FC Porto's youth academy, he would never appear officially for its main squad, spending two years with the reserve team and being loaned to C.D. Santa Clara in the 2004–05 season (Segunda Liga).[2]

Subsequently, Organista spent three years with Pontevedra CF in the Spanish Segunda División B, the first still on loan.[3][4][5][6] In August 2008 he agreed on a loan return to Portugal with C.F. Os Belenenses,[7] being very rarely played as the Lisbon-based club was eventually relegated from the Primeira Liga – later reinstated.

In the summer of 2009, Organista was released by Pontevedra and signed for OFI Crete F.C. in Greece's second division. After a brief spell in Bulgaria he resumed his career in his country's second tier, appearing for Portimonense SC, F.C. Penafiel, G.D. Chaves[8] and Varzim SC.[9]

International career

Organista was part of the Portugal under-21 squad at the 2007 UEFA European Championship, but did not play any games. Two years earlier he appeared for the nation at the Toulon Tournament, scoring two penalty kicks in as many matches (both wins) in a final runner-up position.[10][11]

Personal life

Organista's older brother, Miguel, was also a footballer. Among others, he represented C.D. Nacional and S.L. Benfica.[12]
