His best campaign on record is 2025/26 at GIL Vicente — Season rating 58, 4 goals and 8 assists in 33 games. 2025/26 was the leap — Season rating up 27 points at GIL Vicente. Form is on a climb — up 29 Season points across his last 3 full seasons.
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±16 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2024/25 (Primeira Liga) and kept playing — 33 games that season.
