Jean-Baptiste Gorby, born 25 July 2002 (age 24), is a French central midfielder whose senior career has been shaped mainly at SC Braga. His market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Braga has been the main strand of his career, but his loan at Paços de Ferreira in 2023-2024 mattered. He played 34 league matches there and scored two goals, the most productive league season of his career so far. It gave him the sort of senior workload young midfielders usually need, rather than the sort they are often promised.
Back at SC Braga, Gorby has become a regular part of the side. Across five seasons with the club he has made 66 league appearances and scored three league goals. In 2025-2026, he has been firmly involved again, with 28 Liga Portugal appearances and one goal, alongside two Conference League qualifying appearances and 14 in the Europa League, where he has also scored once.
In all competitions for Braga in 2025-2026, he has made 44 appearances and scored two goals. His career remains centred on Braga, with Paços de Ferreira serving as the useful development spell rather than the main story.
