He made 41 Segunda Liga appearances for Sporting CP B and Braga B, but spent most of his career in the lower leagues.
Club career Born in Bissau, Guinea Bissau, Ié joined Sporting CP's youth system in 2008, aged 14. He was promoted to the B team for the 2012–13 season, in the Segunda Liga.
Ié made his debut in the competition on 23 January 2013, coming on as a substitute for João Mário in a 2–1 away win against Covilhã. It was one of only two appearances during the campaign.

He was released on 15 January 2018 and, the following day, signed a six-month contract with PAS Giannina, with the option to extend for an additional two years depending on performances; the transfer to the latter club was however cancelled, for personal reasons.
In February 2018, Ié returned to Portugal's third tier and Cinfães. He spent the ensuing years in the same division, with Felgueiras 1932, Gondomar and Fontinhas.
In summer 2023, Ié joined Tłuchowia Tłuchowo in the Polish IV liga. In May 2024, Dinamo București launched an investigation following accusations that new signing Edgar Ié had sent his twin to play for the Romanian club instead.
