Career
In the following months, two loans befell: in January 2006 he made his first division debuts with Vitória de Setúbal, and spent the entire 2006-2007 season with Lisbon neighbours Communicative Disorders Olivais e Moscavide in the second level, being released in the ensuing summer. Subsequently, Roque joined Cypriot team AEL Limassol. After a rather poor debut campaign with the club, his form improved and he began appearing regularly in its starting XI.
In spite of being naturally right-footed, he featured mainly on the left wing.
In 2009-2010, an injury meant Roque only resumed training in late January 2010. In the 2011 summer, due to the fact AEL had too many foreign players, he was loaned to fellow First Division side Nea Salamis Famagusta Football Club, and the move was made permanent for the 2012-2013 season.
