Club career

Paulo Jorge was born in Luanda, to Portuguese parents. During his career, he represented U.D. Leiria, AD Fafe, C.D. Feirense, S.C. Vila Real and Gil Vicente FC; having signed from the lower leagues into the second division in 1998, he contributed seven matches as the latter team promoted as champions.[1]

For the next six Primeira Liga seasons, Paulo Jorge remained an undisputed starter,[2][1] going on to make nearly 300 overall appearances for the Barcelos-based club and retiring at the age of 38 after a ten-year spell. At the end of the 2003–04 campaign, as Gil finished 12th, his displays earned him the Portuguese Goalkeeper of the Year award.
