Football career
Jorginho was born in Sines. After several years with local Clube de Futebol Vasco da Gama he signed in January 2005 with Serie B side Modena FC, teaming up with compatriot Manú which had been loaned by S.L. Benfica.
For 2005–06 Jorginho returned to Portugal, going on to play two seasons in the second division with G.D. Estoril Praia. Afterwards he moved to Vitória Futebol Clube, making his top flight debut on 23 September 2007 and playing the entire 2–2 away draw against Sporting Clube de Portugal; still, he featured sparingly during the campaign.
Jorginho joined Asteras Tripoli FC (a team which also featured three other Portuguese players) in August 2008 but, unsettled, returned home after only a few months, signing for F.C. Paços de Ferreira during the January transfer window. On 7 March he played his first match for his new club, also at Sporting (0–2 loss).
Jorginho started 2011–12 with F.C. Arouca in the second level, managing to appear and start regularly during the first half of the season. In January 2012, however, the 33-year-old left and signed for União Sport Clube in the Setúbal second regional division.
