Born on 20 August 2005 in Portugal is José Silva, a sturdy defender playing his trade with Sporting CP. As of now, the lad is 19 years of age, standing at the height of 5ft 10in (1.8m), and tipping the scales at a lean 10st 12lb (69kg). Silva proudly dons the number 55 jersey for his side.
Silva's contract with Sporting CP still has a reasonable run left, with 3 years and 1 month remaining, slated to draw to a close on the 30th of June, 2028. A substantial commitment, it suggests both the club's faith in his potential and his own contentment with the team's direction.
In reflection on the 2024 - 2025 season, Silva's participation was somewhat measured. He graced the pitch in just one Liga Portugal game, interestingly enough, making his contribution from the bench as a substitute. For a player of his age, however, such cautious introduction into first-team football isn't entirely surprising, and it would be fair to expect greater involvement for Silva in the seasons to come.
