Football career

Born in Fenais da Luz, a civil parish of Ponta Delgada in the Azores, Paulo Henrique came through the youth ranks of local team C.D. Santa Clara. On 27 July 2013, he made his professional debut in a 2013–14 Taça da Liga match against Farense, when he started and played the full game. He played six Segunda Liga games over the season and scored the only goal of a home win over Sporting CP B on 29 January 2014.
On 3 July 2015, Paulo Henrique signed a four-year deal with Primeira Liga club F.C. Paços de Ferreira. He made two league appearances in his first season and scored on the latter, a 4–3 win at C.F. União on 17 April 2016. After making no more appearances, he moved to S.C. Covilhã in the second division on a season's loan on 17 August 2017.
Having made just three appearances as Paços won the second division title in 2018–19, Paulo Henrique's contract with the Castores expired and he signed a one-year deal with F.C. Penafiel in that league.
