Costa commenced his professional club football career at Portuguese club Braga in 2006 and after a short loan stint at Penafiel landed up at Atletico Madrid in 2007. He was on the Rojiblancos’ books for the following two seasons, although he played on loan for Braga and then Celta de Vigo and Albacete for all of that time.
