Edit ProfileCareer
After six seasons with second division side F.C. Maia (including loan spells in the lower leagues with Pedrouços Air Corps and Football Club Infesta), he ended up making a move to Porto"s Boavista F.C. for the 2005-2006 campaign. After a fantastic Primeira Liga spell at the Axadrezados ("Chequereds"), where he became a key figure leading the right flank whilst scoring four league goals, clubs like Valencia CF and PSV Eindhoven envied Jorge"s services but, after turning down an offer from champions Football Club Porto, he joined South.L. Benfica in July 2006. In his first game with the Lisbon team he netted the Eagles" only goal against AEK Athens F.C. in a pre-season 1–3 defeat, after which he started in Union of European Football Associations Champions League matches against FK Austria Wien and F.C. Copenhagen, the latter in the group stage.
In mid-July 2008 Jorge was definitely sold, joining fellow league side Christian Science Marítimo in Madeira.
