Josué Filipe Soares Pesqueira (born 17 September 1990), known simply as Josué, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Turkish club Akhisar Belediyespor as an attacking midfielder.
Club career
Early years / Paços
Born in Ermesinde, Porto District, Josué joined FC Porto's youth system at the age of nine. He spent his first two seasons as a senior on loan, both in Portugal and abroad, representing successively S.C. Covilhã,[1] F.C. Penafiel (both in the Segunda Liga) and VVV-Venlo (Netherlands).[2]
In summer 2011, Josué was released by Porto with only two official appearances to his credit, both in the Taça da Liga,[3][4] and signed with F.C. Paços de Ferreira. He made his Primeira Liga debut on 17 September, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–1 away loss against C.D. Nacional;[5] in his second year he contributed with 23 league appearances – 18 starts – as the club finished a best-ever third and qualified to the UEFA Champions League, and was chosen as Best Young Player in the competition in the process.[6]
Return to Porto
Josué agreed on a return to former side Porto on 29 May 2013, penning a four-year contract and moving alongside manager Paulo Fonseca.[7][8] On 10 August he won his first club honour, coming on as a substitute in a 3–0 win over Vitória de Guimarães in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira,[9] and scored his first goal for his new team a week later starting and netting through a penalty kick in a 3–1 win at Vitória de Setúbal.[10]
Deemed surplus to requirements at Porto as practically all Portuguese players, Josué then spent 18 months on loan at Bursaspor. He made his Süper Lig debut on 30 August 2014, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–2 home loss against Galatasaray SK, and helped the team to the final of the Turkish Cup, notably contributing with a brace to a 3–2 group win at Samsunspor on 24 December 2014.[11] On 26 January 2016, he returned to his homeland and was loaned to S.C. Braga for the rest of the campaign,[12] netting against his parent club in the decisive match of the Taça de Portugal that was won in a penalty shootout for their first such title in half a century.[13]
On 23 August 2016, Josué returned to Turkey, joining Galatasaray on a season-long loan.[14] He scored his first goal for the Istanbul-based team on 25 December, closing a 5–1 home win over Alanyaspor six minutes after replacing Eren Derdiyok.[15]
International career
Josué won 26 caps for Portugal all youth categories comprised, including 17 for the under-21 team. He made his debut with the full side on 11 October 2013, playing 21 minutes in a 1–1 home draw against Israel for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.[16]
In the second leg of the play-offs against Sweden on 19 November, Josué (who was not used in the game) extended his middle finger towards the opposing fans, while celebrating his country's qualification to the World Cup after the final whistle.[17]
