Club career

Born in Marinha Grande, Leiria District, Jordão began his career at U.D. Leiria. He became their youngest player and goalscorer of all time in the 2015–16 Campeonato de Portugal, and in July 2016 he transferred to S.C. Braga.[2]

On 20 August 2016, Jordão made his professional debut with Braga B in a 2016–17 LigaPro match against Cova da Piedade. He was substituted for Xadas at half time in the 1–0 home loss.[3]

On 31 August 2017, both Jordão and teammate Pedro Neto were loaned to S.S. Lazio from Italy for two years, with an obligation to subsequently buy for a combined €26 million.[4][5] He played only three matches for the Serie A club, starting with a 2–1 away loss to Genoa C.F.C. on 17 February 2019 when he played the final 18 minutes in place of Ștefan Radu.[6]

On 2 August 2019, Jordão signed to Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers.[7] He made his debut for Wolves in an EFL Cup third round tie against Reading on 25 September, in which he was withdrawn with injury shortly after scoring.[8] Jordão made his debut in UEFA club competition football in Wolves's 2019-20 UEFA Europa League Round of 32 second leg away to Espanyol on 27 February 2020.[9] In the final Premier League matchday of the season, he made his club league debut as a substitute away at Chelsea.[10]

International career

Jordão had his first call-up to the Portugal under-21 team in May 2018, ahead of a friendly against Italy in Estoril.[11] He came on at half-time for Stephen Eustáquio in the 3–2 win on 25 May.[12]
