Admilson Estaline Dias de Barros (born 24 February 1988), commonly known as Gegé, is a Cape Verdean footballer who plays for Portuguese club C.S. Marítimo as a central defender.

Club career

Gegé was born in Santiago. He moved to Portugal in 2008, starting in the lower leagues with Sporting Clube de Pombal and C.F. Estrela da Amadora and moving to the second division in June 2010, signing for C.D. Trofense.[1]

After one more season in the second level, with S.C. Covilhã, Gegé moved to the top flight with C.S. Marítimo, initially being assigned to the reserves in division three. He made his debut in Portugal's main category with the Madeirans on 18 August 2013, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–1 home win against S.L. Benfica.

International career

Gegé was called up to the Cape Verde national team for friendlies against Malta and Angola in September 2009, along three other under-21 internationals,[2] but eventually did not play.[3] He gained his first full cap the following year, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 win over Guinea-Bissau in Lisbon.

Gegé scored his first international goal on 31 March 2015, contributing to a 2–0 friendly success in Portugal and being replaced at half-time.[4]
