Seven goals and a Fut Coins   series of sparkling displays for the Madeira club earned him a senior national-team call-up in October 2007, with the player scoring within 20 minutes of coming on as a substitute on his debut a 2-1 UEFA EURO 2008 qualifying win in Kazakhstan. Having won the first of four senior caps to date, the goal-getter’s rich vein of form earned a permanent switch to Lisbon giants Benfica come January 2008.

The Estadio da Luz was not a happy hunting ground for the well-travelled attacker, however, with just two goals in eight games to show from his first half season in Os Encarnados colours. Opportunities were even more scarce come 2008/09, leading to a January 2009 loan switch to England’s Bolton Wanderers, though goals once again proved elusive despite the change of scenery.
