Club career

Early career and Boavista

[edit]

Paulo Jorge was born in Maia, Porto District. He spent six seasons in the Segunda Liga with his hometown club F.C. Maia, including loan spells in the lower leagues with Pedrouços A.C. and F.C. Infesta, then signed a three-year contract with Boavista F.C. for 2005–06.[2][3] In his one year at the Estádio do Bessa, he scored seven goals in all competitions, including the equaliser in a 1–1 home derby draw against FC Porto on the final day; the team needed a win to qualify for the UEFA Cup.[4]

Benfica

[edit]

Paulo Jorge joined S.L. Benfica in July 2006, on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[5] With the Lisbon side, he started in UEFA Champions League matches against FK Austria Wien (both legs of the third qualifying round)[6][7] and F.C. Copenhagen and Manchester United (group stage).[8][9] His only goal came on 1 October, opening a 4–1 home win over C.D. Aves.[10]

However, after having appeared sparingly during the league campaign, Paulo Jorge was loaned to Málaga CF in Spain, whom achieved La Liga promotion in 2008. He shared teams with compatriots Eliseu and Hélder Rosário during his stint,[11] scoring once for the Andalusians to open an eventual 2–1 home loss to Gimnàstic de Tarragona on 10 May 2008.[12]

Later career

[edit]

Paulo Jorge was definitely sold in mid-July 2008, and joined C.S. Marítimo on a two-year deal, alongside Manú and João Coimbra who also transferred from the Estádio da Luz.[13] He scored his first competitive goal for the Madeirans on 4 January 2009 during a 4–1 home victory over F.C. Paços de Ferreira,[14] and spent most of the season as a right-back.[15]

In June 2010, Paulo Jorge and former Benfica teammate Nuno Assis joined Al-Ittihad Club (Jeddah) of the Saudi Professional League, under their compatriot manager Manuel José.[16] At the start of 2013, he returned to his country's top flight, being signed by Paulo Alves at Gil Vicente FC.[17]

Remaining in the same league, Paulo Jorge agreed to a one-year contract at C.F. Os Belenenses in July 2013.[18] After seven games, he was released by mutual consent on 15 January.[19]
