Paulo Clemente Ventura Raimundo (born 14 October 1983), known as Clemente, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for C.D. Santa Clara as a forward.
Football career
Born in Ponta Delgada (Azores), Clemente began his career with boyhood club CD Operário, spending three seasons in the third division and one in the fourth. In 2005 he left for another side in the latter category, Louletano DC.
Clemente first reached the professionals in the 2007–08 campaign, competing with Gondomar S.C. in the second level. In January 2008, however, he returned to the third tier, signing for G.D. Chaves and scoring 13 goals in his first full season to help the northerners promote as champions.[1]
In 2009–10 Chaves was immediately relegated back, but the team managed to reach the final of the Portuguese Cup, with Clemente contributing with five games and one goal, which came precisely in the decisive match against F.C. Porto, who won it 2–1.[2][3]
Clemente continued playing in division two in the following seasons, with U.D. Oliveirense and F.C. Arouca.[4] In June 2013, following the latter's promotion to the top flight, he was released; on the 24th he returned to former club Chaves, also in the second division.[5]
In early January 2014 Clemente parted ways with the Flavienses,[6] moving to fellow league club S.C. Farense shortly after.[7]
