Born in the village of Gondar in Guimarães, Bastos appeared in one Primeira Liga during his spell with local club Vitória Sport Clube, the 2–0 away loss against Sporting CP on 30 November 2008 where he played the first 45 minutes as a last-year junior. He went on to serve three consecutive loan spells, with F.C. Vizela in the third division and S.C. Freamunde and Atlético Clube de Portugal in the Segunda Liga.Returned to his parent club for 2012–13, Bastos was assigned to the reserves in the second tier. After his release in March 2013 he represented S.C. Olhanense, being sparingly used and being relegated from the top flight in his first season. In January 2015, he left the Algarve and signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with NK Istra 1961 from the Croatian Football League.
In the summer of 2015, Bastos joined French Ligue 2 team Red Star F.C. alongside compatriot Rui Sampaio. His competitive input consisted of the 5–1 league home defeat to Valenciennes FC on 28 August.
