Jorge Fernando dos Santos Silva (born 22 March 1996) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Slovenian PrvaLiga club Olimpija Ljubljana as a right-back.

Club career

Sporting CP

Born in Porto, Silva finished his development at Sporting CP. He made his senior debut with their reserves in the LigaPro on 23 January 2016, playing the entire 3–0 away loss against Farense.[2]

Leixões

Silva signed with Leixões of the same league on 17 June 2016.[3] During his spell at the Estádio do Mar he appeared in an average of 28 league matches, being sent off in the 1–0 home defeat to Académico de Viseu on 30 October 2016.[4]

Paços Ferreira

On 1 July 2019, Silva joined Primeira Liga club Paços de Ferreira on a three-year contract.[5] He played his first game in the competition on 4 November, as a second-half substitute in the 1–0 loss at B-SAD.[6]

Silva missed the vast majority of the 2020–21 and 2021–22 seasons, due to injury.[7][8]

Olimpija Ljubljana

On 26 June 2023, Silva moved abroad for the first time and signed with Slovenian PrvaLiga champions Olimpija Ljubljana on a two-year contract.[9] His debut on 11 July was the first European game of his career, a 2–1 home win over Latvia's Valmiera in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League.[10]

Silva scored his first goal as a professional on 6 April 2024, his team's second in the 3–2 away victory against Rogaška after replacing his compatriot David Sualehe at half-time.[11]
