After two seasons with Varzim in the top flight (45 games, one goal) and a third in division two, Vidigal joined third-tier C.D. Portosantense.[2] Aged 31, he returned to his first senior club, now in the fourth division, closing out his career in 2010 after a brief spell with amateurs Club Sintra Football.[3]
