José Silva

José Silva of Sporting CP was born in Cascais, Portugal on 20 August 2005 (age 20).

José Silva, born on 20 August 2005 (age 20), is a Portuguese right-back whose senior career remains at an early stage. His league record began with Sporting CP in 2024-25, when he made one appearance.

Arouca has given him the bulk of his senior football so far. In 2025-26, he made four league appearances there, making that spell the clearest marker in a career still short on volume and definition.

Silva’s profile on Transfermarkt reflects a player still building a first-team record: one league outing at Sporting CP, followed by a modest but more substantial run at Arouca.

Silva’s career path remained narrow: Sporting CP development, a loan to Arouca, then a return to Sporting. At 20, the right-back had only a small senior sample, so the trajectory was more about managed exposure than clear progression into a regular role.

The transfer record shows Sporting CP brought Silva in as a trainee in 2019, then sent him to Arouca on loan in February 2026 before his scheduled return in June 2026. With no fee listed and no permanent move, it looked like a short-term minutes play rather than a change in status.
