Career report

Peak: 2023/24Holding levelBreakout: 2023/24StreakyStepped up 2023/24
The record covers 6 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 2 clubs, including a move abroad — 196 appearances, 11 goals and 11 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2023/24 at Moreirense — Season rating 55, 2 goals and 4 assists in 33 games. 2023/24 was the leap — Season rating up 40 points at Moreirense. Output has held steady across his last 3 full seasons (55 → 51).
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±18 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2023/24 (Primeira Liga) and kept playing — 33 games that season.
