Born in Praia, Kuca played for AD Bairro and Boavista FC in his country. He moved to Portugal in 2010, signing with lowly SC Mirandela[1][2] 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 achieved promotion to the Segunda Liga at the end of 2012–13,[3] making his debut as a professional on 11 August 2013 and scoring the only goal of the away match against C.D. Santa Clara.[4] 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 level for the past 12 months.[5]
On 26 June 2014, Kuca moved to Primeira Liga side G.D. Estoril Praia.[6] His maiden appearance in the competition took place on 18 August, and he netted in a 1–1 draw at F.C. Arouca.[7]

Os Belenenses.[9] The following three seasons, he represented Rio Ave FC (still owned by Kardemir),[10] Arouca[11] and Boavista FC.[12]
In October 2018, Kuca moved to the Romanian Liga I with FC Hermannstadt, alongside former Rio Ave teammate Pedro Moreira.[13] He made his competitive debut on the 30th, coming on as a late substitute in a Cupa României match against FC Voluntari and scoring the final 3–0 which qualified to the quarter-finals.[14]
