Born in Paredes, Sérgio was a youth graduate of F.C. Paços de Ferreira, making his Primeira Liga debut on 1 October 2000 by playing four minutes in a 4–1 home win against C.F. Estrela da Amadora.[1] He was first-choice in the following two seasons.[2]

On 25 June 2003, Sérgio joined Sporting Clube de Portugal on a four-year contract, being the first signing of manager Fernando Santos. He said upon his arrival: "I am an ambitious player. I have fought for this opportunity and now want to show my worth".[3] However, three years later and with only 18 competitive appearances to his credit, also being loaned to fellow league side Vitória de Guimarães,[4] he was released.[5]

Immediately after leaving the Lions, Mário Sérgio signed for two years with Associação Naval 1º de Maio also in the top level.[6] He was an undisputed starter during his tenure, scoring his third and last league goal on 14 January 2007 to contribute to a 3–0 away victory over Vitória de Setúbal.[7]

APOEL

On 15 May 2012 Mário Sérgio signed a two-year deal with Cypriot club APOEL FC,[13] scoring his first goal against Alki Larnaca F.C. in a last-minute equalizer.[14] He also participated with the team in the qualifying phase of the UEFA Europa League, netting against Aalesunds FK in a 2–1 home success;[15] at the end of his debut campaign he won the First Division, which was the first major accolade of his career.

On 17 August 2013, APOEL beat Apollon Limassol 1–0 to win the Cypriot Super Cup and Mário Sérgio scored a rare goal in the 35th minute.[16] During the season, he appeared in five games in the group stage of the Europa League, and helped his side conquer the treble as they went on to add the league[17] and the Cup.[18]

On 6 December 2014, Mário Sérgio signed a two-year contract extension with APOEL, running until June 2017.[19]
