Jorge Fernando Barbosa Intima (born 21 September 1995), known as Jorginho, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for G.D. Chaves on loan from French club AS Saint-Étienne as a winger.

Club career

Born in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, Jorginho came through the youth ranks at Manchester City after signing at the age of 17.[1][2] After agreeing to a one-year contract extension on 7 July 2015,[3] he was limited to reserve team football.[4]

In the very last minutes of the 2016 winter transfer window, Jorginho moved to Portugal and joined F.C. Arouca on a three-and-a-half-year deal.[5] He made his Primeira Liga debut on 7 February, coming on as an 78th-minute substitute in a 2–1 away win against FC Porto.[6]

On 17 December 2016, Jorginho scored a hat-trick in a 4–1 away triumph over Moreirense FC.[7]

International career

Jorginho represented Portugal internationally. He was part of the squad at the 2014 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, appearing in three games – including eight minutes in the final against Germany – for the eventual runners-up.
