Club career

[edit]

Escoval was born in Lisbon. He joined S.L. Benfica's youth system at the age of 10, signing from SG Sacavenense also in the region.[2]

On 24 August 2016, Escoval made his professional debut for Benfica's B team, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 away win against F.C. Vizela in the LigaPro.[3] He contributed a further nine starts until the end of the season, helping to a final fourth position.[4]

On 18 August 2017, the 20-year-old Escoval and teammate Filipe Ferreira were sold to NK Istra 1961 from the Croatian Football League, as Mato Miloš moved in the opposite direction.[5] On 10 January 2018, he signed a 1+1⁄2-year contract with HNK Rijeka of the same country and league, with a three-year extension option.[6] He scored his first top-flight goal while in service of the latter club, opening the 2–0 away victory over NK Varaždin on 28 September 2019.[7]

Escoval joined Cypriot First Division side Anorthosis Famagusta FC on 31 January 2022 on a two-and-a-half-year deal,[8] but switched to the Super League Greece with Volos F.C. shortly after.[9] He returned to Portugal in summer 2023, agreeing to a two-year contract at Vizela.[10][11] He made his Primeira Liga debut on 27 August by starting the 2–0 loss at Vitória de Guimarães[12] and, in December, renewed his link until 2026.[13]

On 29 June 2024, Escoval signed for Russian Premier League newcomers FC Akron Tolyatti.[14]
