Born in Lisbon, Vital joined G.D. Estoril Praia's academy at the age of 14.

Vital played his first match in the Primeira Liga on 7 August 2021, starting and finishing the 2–0 win at F.C. Arouca. In December, as his contract was due to expire, he renewed it until 2025.

Vital scored his first goal in the Portuguese top division on 27 February 2022, opening an eventual 2–3 home defeat to Boavista FC. He added two more until the end of his stint, in 94 competitive appearances.

Zaragoza

On 13 August 2024, Vital moved abroad and signed a two-year contract with Spanish Segunda División side Real Zaragoza.

On 24 September 2022, Vital won his first cap for Portugal at under-21 level, playing the second half of the 4–1 friendly win over Georgia.
