Career
Born in Praia, Kuca played for AD Bairro and Boavista Football Club in his country. He moved to Portugal in 2010, signing with lowly South Carolina Mirandela and scoring four goals in 27 games in his first season to help the club promote to the third division. Early into the 2012 January transfer window, Kuca joined G.D. Chaves.
He added a further 11 until the end of the campaign, as his team comfortably avoided relegation with an eighth-place finish.
Alongside compatriot Rambé, he was chosen by readers of daily newspaper O Jogo for the team of players competing in that category for the past 12 months. On 26 June 2014, Kuca moved to Primeira Liga side G.D. Estoril Praia.
His maiden appearance in the competition took place on 18 August, and he netted in a 1–1 draw at F.C. Arouca. On 12 January 2015, Kuca signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Kardemir Karabükspor in the Turkish Süper Lig.
In the summer, however, he returned to Portugal, being loaned to Chaplain to the Forces Os Belenenses.
