João Maria Lobo Alves Palhinha Gonçalves (born 9 July 1995) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for S.C. Braga on loan from Sporting CP as a defensive midfielder.

Club career

Born in Lisbon, Palhinha joined local Sporting CP's youth system in 2012, aged 17. He played his first game as a professional with the B-team, coming on as a late substitute for fellow youth graduate Iuri Medeiros in a 3−2 home win against Portimonense S.C. for the Segunda Liga championship, on 3 February 2014;[2] it was one of only two appearances during the season.

Still in the second level, Palhinha scored his first senior goal on 4 April 2015, his header contributing to a 3−1 home success over Leixões SC.[3] From July 2015 to January 2017 he was loaned to Primeira Liga clubs Moreirense F.C.[4] and C.F. Os Belenenses, respectively,[5] making his debut in the competition whilst with the former in a 0−2 home loss to F.C. Arouca where he played 22 minutes from the bench,[6] and netting for the first time while at the service of the latter against Vitória de Guimarães (1−1 away draw, 90 minutes played).[7]

Subsequently, returned to the Estádio José Alvalade,[8] Palhinha made his competitive debut with the first team on 21 January 2017, starting in a 2−2 draw at C.S. Marítimo.[9] He scored his first goals for them on 12 October of the same year, netting twice in a 4–2 away win over ARC Oleiros for the Taça de Portugal.[10]

Palhinha spent the following two seasons on loan to S.C. Braga.[11]
