Club career
Born in Beja, Aurélio began his professional career with lower league club S.C. Penalva. In the 2008–09 season he moved straight into the top level with Madeira's C.D. Nacional, managing ten league appearances in his first year and scoring in a 2–1 away win against C.F. Os Belenenses on 26 April 2009.
In the following campaign Aurélio started impressively, netting against Sporting Clube de Portugal in the opener – although he also scored in his own net – and S.C. Olhanense, both 1–1 draws. Additionally, he also started and scored in the UEFA Europa League 4–3 home triumph over FC Zenit Saint Petersburg (eventually 5–4 aggregate win).
International career
After good performances for Nacional, Aurélio was called up to the under-21 side by Oceano, for the 2011 UEFA European Championship qualifiers: in the 81st minute of the match against Lithuania, he came on as a substitute for S.L. Benfica's Fábio Coentrão and headed in the final 4–1 three minutes later.
Personal life
Aurélio's twin brother, Luís, is also a footballer and a midfielder. He played most of his career in the lower leagues, and they shared teams at Nacional.[1]
