Hailing from the town of Tavene in the Gaza Province, Dove played with various youth teams before arriving at Ferroviário de Maputo in 2013. He made his debut with the first team during the 2015 season, winning a league title in his first year.
In May 2016, Dove traveled to Lisbon to undergo a trial with Portuguese club Sporting CP.
