Born on 16 February 2000 in Portugal, the footballer known as 'Duk' Henriques Barros Lopes now (in 2025) finds himself at the age of 25 strutting his stuff on the wings for Spanish side, Leganes. Standing at a height of 1.8m (5ft 10in) and tipping the scales at 82kg (roughly 12st 12lb), the left-winger wears his favoured number 18 jersey with distinction.
As gleaned from Transfermarkt, the current market value of Duk is roughly £1m, clearly indicating his importance to his club with his contract slated to expire by 30 June 2025.
The trail of Duk's football career can be traced back to July 2017, when he joined Benfica B in the Liga Portugal 2 as a youthful trainee. It was there he cut his teeth and learned the ropes of the game. In July 2022, he switched scenes from Benfica B to the Premiership in Scotland, signing for Aberdeen for an approximate fee of £400,000.
During his stint at Aberdeen, Duk made significant contributions to the team. In his debut season (2022-2023) in Scotland, he had 37 first team appearances and delivered a commendable performance by netting 16 goals in league matches. The subsequent season (2023-2024) saw him maintaining a steady presence, appearing 34 times for the first team and scoring four goals in league matches. And in the current season (2024-2025), thus far, he has made 19 appearances in league matches.
In February 2025, Duk decided to explore pastures new and sealed a transfer from Aberdeen to Leganes in LaLiga, Spain. The transfer fee was in the ballpark of £600,000. Since his move to Spain, he has made five appearances for the first team in the 2024-2025 season. His current journey continues in the Spanish sun with Leganes, leaving his fierce footprint on every pitch he conquers.
