José Silva

José Silva of Gil Vicente was born in Cascais, Portugal on 20 August 2005 (age 21).

José Silva, born 20 August 2005 (age 20), is a Portuguese right-back currently with Gil Vicente. Transfermarkt lists his market value at around £425,000.

His career is still at an early stage, but Arouca is the club most attached to his senior record so far. He made four league appearances there across one season, enough to give that spell more substance than the brief entries elsewhere on his CV.

There was also a short league outing for Sporting CP in 2024-25, before his move on to Gil Vicente. In 2026-27, he has made one Liga Portugal appearance for his current club.

Silva’s career to date is that of a young Portuguese full-back with limited senior exposure, with Arouca still the clearest marker in his development.

Silva progressed through Sporting CP's system as a trainee from 2019 and, at 20, his senior pathway covers Sporting CP, a loan to Arouca and a transfer to Gil Vicente, a sequence that reflects a player moving from youth ranks into senior football rather than an established first-team fixture.
