Born in Oeiras, Lisbon District, Rudy played lower league football until the age of 22, his first stop being with Sporting Clube Linda-a-Velha in the Lisbon regional championships. In 2011, he signed with Cercle Brugge, scoring 13 goals in 33 matches in his first season to help his team to the seventh position in the Belgian Pro League as well as the UEFA Europa League final playoff, lost to Gent;^[1] he found the net in only his second appearance, a 1–1 home draw against R.A.E.C. Mons.^[2]

Rudy joined Deportivo de La Coruña from Spain in summer 2013, as a free agent.^[3] He returned to Portugal a few months afterwards, being loaned to former youth club Os Belenenses^[4] and making his Primeira Liga debut on 8 February 2014 in a 2–0 away loss to C.D. Nacional (65 minutes played).^[5]

In August 2014, Rudy's Deportivo contract was cancelled by mutual consent and he moved to Greek side Skoda Xanthi.^[6] Late in the year, he returned to the land of his ancestors and joined C.R.D. Libolo.^[7]

After a year in the Cypriot First Division with Doxa Katokopias, Rudy joined C.F. União of Portugal's LigaPro on an 18-month deal on 5 January 2018.^[8] In July that year, he switched to Waterford F.C. in the League of Ireland Premier Division, on an undisclosed contract.^[9]
