Club career

[edit]

After playing in his native Portugal for Benfica B, Famalicão and Sporting da Covilhã, Jorginho moved to Finland in July 2023 after signing with Ilves in the country's top tier Veikkausliiga.[1][2] On 31 October 2024, it was reported that Jorginho would leave Ilves. During one-and-a-half seasons he spent with the club, he made 42 appearances, scored three goals and provided 12 assists in all competitions combined. He also won the 2023 Finnish Cup with Ilves, and they finished as the Veikkausliiga runners-up in the 2024 season.[3]

On 13 November 2024, Jorginho signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Czech First League club Dukla Prague as a free agent.[4]
