Born in Albufeira on the Algarve, Sousa joined Sporting CP's academy in 2014. On 6 May 2018, he made his professional debut with the reserve team in a 1–0 LigaPro win away to Vitória S.C. B.[1] The reserve team was then dissolved and reconstituted as an under-23 team, and he signed a new three-year contract in May 2019.[2]
Sousa had his initial call-up to Sporting's first team for the UEFA Europa League group game at home to PSV Eindhoven on 28 November 2019, remaining an unused substitute as fellow academy player Luís Maximiano was fielded.[3]
On 30 June 2021, without having debuted for Sporting's first team, Sousa signed a four-year deal at Antalyaspor in the Turkish Süper Lig.[4] While Belgian veteran Ruud Boffin played the league fixtures, Sousa made his debut in the third round of the Cup on 28 October, a 5–0 home win over Diyarbakırspor.[5]
On 5 September 2022, Sousa joined Bodrumspor on a season-long loan with an option to buy.[6]
