Artur Jorge Marques Amorim (born 14 August 1994), known as Artur Jorge (Portuguese pronunciation: [aɾˈtuɾ ˈʒɔɾʒɨ]), is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Primeira Liga club Farense.

Formed at Braga, he made over 100 Primeira Liga appearances, also representing Vitória de Setúbal, Moreirense and Farense. He also played top-flight football in Belgium, Romania, Cyprus and the United Arab Emirates.

Club career[edit]

Braga[edit]

Born in Braga, Artur Jorge joined local S.C. Braga's youth system at the age of 10. He started playing as a senior with the B team, going on to spend several seasons with them in the Segunda Liga. Additionally, during 2014–15, he was loaned to Vilaverdense F.C.[2] and S.C. Freamunde.[3]

Artur Jorge made both his main squad and Primeira Liga debut on 19 September 2016, coming on as a 71st-minute substitute for the injured André Pinto in a 3–1 away loss against S.L. Benfica.[4] He contributed a further 15 starts until the end of the season, in a fifth-place finish; on 3 December he was sent off after 35 minutes for conceding a penalty kick in a 1–0 defeat at FC Porto with a foul on André Silva, who missed the attempt.[5] He added four appearances in the Taça da Liga, including a start in the 1–0 final loss to Moreirense F.C. on 29 January 2017.[6][7]

On 15 August 2017, after renewing his contract for one year and less than one month on loan at Royal Excel Mouscron,[8] Artur Jorge agreed to a season-long loan deal with Romanian club FCSB.[9] His debut came three days later in an away match against SC Juventus București, scoring an own goal after just 13 seconds in an eventual 2–1 win.[10]

Vitória Setúbal[edit]

Artur Jorge returned to his country and its top division on 13 June 2018, joining Vitória F.C. on a three-year contract.[11] He started in all but one of his 30 appearances in his second season, but his team were relegated to the third tier due to irregularities;[12] on 3 August, he scored the only goal at home to Moreirense to reach the League Cup group stage.[13]

APOEL and Moreirense[edit]

In September 2020, Artur Jorge signed a two-year deal with APOEL FC of the Cypriot First Division.[14] He cancelled this arrangement at the halfway point after a runners-up campaign,[15] and signed a three-year deal with Moreirense back home.[16]

Artur Jorge scored the only top-flight goal of his career on 14 May 2022 as the season ended with a 4–1 home victory over F.C. Vizela, putting the Moreira de Cónegos team in the relegation play-offs.[17]

Later career[edit]

Artur Jorge rescinded his contract with the relegated club and went back abroad on 31 July 2022, signing for Al Bataeh Club in the UAE Pro League.[18] He returned to Portugal in summer 2023, on a one-year deal at S.C. Farense.[19]

Personal life[edit]

Artur Jorge's father, known by the same name, was also a footballer and a defender. He too played for Braga, and managed the club in two spells.[20]
