In the 2010–11 season, Babanco signed with F.C. Arouca in Portugal, which was competing for the first time ever in the Segunda Liga. He was first choice during his two-year spell, with the Aveiro District side consecutively managing to retain their league status.Шаблон:Fact
On 5 June 2012, Babanco signed a two-year deal with Primeira Liga club S.C. Olhanense.[1] A year later, he made his way to G.D. Estoril Praia on a free transfer, valid until 2016.[2]
After starting the season with AEL Limassol in the Cypriot First Division, Babanco rescinded his contract and returned to Portugal's top flight on 24 January 2017 on an 18-month deal at C.D. Feirense.[3] He scored his first goal in the division on 3 March 2018 to open a 3–0 home win against Boavista FC.[4]
