William Silva de Carvalho (born 7 April 1992) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Sporting Clube de Portugal as a defensive midfielder.

Club career

Born in Luanda, Angola, Carvalho moved to Portugal as an infant, and joined Sporting Clube de Portugal's youth system at the age of 13. He made his official debut with the first team on 3 April 2011, playing six minutes in a 1–1 away draw against Vitória S.C. for the top division championship, then spent six months on loan to C.D. Fátima in the third level.[1]

Still owned by the Lisbon side, Carvalho played one 1/2-seasons with Cercle Brugge K.S.V. in the Belgian Pro League, where he featured alongside several Sporting teammates in the same predicament.[2] He returned for the 2013–14 campaign, being a defensive mainstay for newly appointed coach Leonardo Jardim.[3]

Carvalho scored his first goal for Sporting on 27 October 2013, netting the 1–1 equalizer in an eventual 1–3 loss at F.C. Porto.

International career

Carvalho made his debuts with the Portuguese under-21 team on 15 October 2012, in a 0–1 friendly loss with Ukraine. He scored twice during the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship qualifiers, in home wins against Norway (5–1)[4] and Israel (3–0).[5]

Carvalho was first summoned by full side manager Paulo Bento in November 2013, for the 2014 FIFA World Cup playoffs against Sweden.[6] He gained his first cap in the second leg on the 19th, coming on as a 73rd-minute substitute in a 3–2 away triumph (4–2 on aggregate).[7]
