António José Pinheiro Carvalho (born 14 January 1993), known as Tozé, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for G.D. Estoril Praia, on loan from F.C. Porto, as a midfielder.

Club career

Born in Forjães, Esposende, Tozé had two youth spells with F.C. Porto, the last starting in 2009 which eventually led to his graduation. He made his senior debuts in the 2012–13 season, being a nuclear element for the B-team in the second division.

On 10 February 2013, shortly after celebrating his 20th birthday, Tozé made his first official appearance for the main squad, coming on as a second-half substitute for Silvestre Varela in a 1–1 home draw against S.C. Olhanense for the league championship.[1] For the 2014–15 campaign, he was loaned to fellow top flight club G.D. Estoril Praia.

On 9 November 2014 Tozé scored a penalty against Porto to put Estoril 2–1 ahead in a league fixture, in an eventual 2–2 home draw. Right after the match, he was confronted in the stadium's tunnel by Porto staff members who accused him of lack of professionalism for scoring the penalty.[2]
