Early career
He was born in Brazil but moved over to Italy at a very young age, growing up in the country. He is youth player of Verona. In June 2010, Jorginho was loaned out to Serie C2 side, A.C. Sambonifacese, where he played his first full senior season for the Veneto club – appearing 31 times and scoring one goal whilst providing ten assists from his central midfield position.[1]
Hellas Verona
After a good season at Sambonifacese, he then returned to Verona. He made his first team debut on 4 September 2011, in match against Sassuolo as a substitute in the 76th minute.[2]
Napoli
On 18 January 2014, he joined Napoli in a co-ownership deal with Verona for four and a half years.[3] On 12 February, he scored the last goal as Napoli overturned a 3-2 first-leg deficit to beat Roma and reach the 2014 Coppa Italia Final. [4] In the final, on 3 May, Jorginho played the full 90 minutes as Napoli defeated Fiorentina 3–1.[5]
In the 2014 Supercoppa Italiana in Doha on 22 December 2014, Jorginho entered the game against Juventus in the second half of extra time in place of Jonathan de Guzmán. He took Napoli's first spot-kick in the penalty shootout, and although Gianluigi Buffon saved it, Napoli were eventually victorious.[6]
