Jovane Cabral, born 14 June 1998 (currently 27 years old) in the island nation of Cape Verde, is an accomplished forward who mostly takes up position on the left wing for his current club, Estrela Amadora. He stands at a height of about 5ft 9in (1.76m) and maintains a weight of approximately 11st 4lb (72kg). He is recognised on the field donning the number 97 jersey, and has had the honour of representing his native Cape Verde on the international stage.
According to Transfermarkt, Cabral's current market value is approximately £850,000. His current stint with Estrela Amadora is set to conclude in the upcoming year, with his contract expiring on 30 June 2026.
In the 2018-2019 season, Cabral made a promising start to his professional career at Sporting CP in Portugal, making 18 first team appearances and scoring two goals. He maintained a strong presence in the following season (2019-2020), during which he made 16 appearances and managed to find the back of the net six times. In the 2020-2021 season, he notched up 24 appearances and netted five goals, further solidifying his role in the team. His final season at Sporting CP (2021-2022) saw him make ten appearances and score a single goal.
Career wanderlust saw Cabral signing for Lazio in Italy for the remainder of the 2021-2022 season, making three appearances and scoring a goal. The subsequent season brought him back to Sporting CP in Portugal, but he was limited to only four appearances. The 2023-2024 season saw him split time between two different clubs, making 12 appearances and scoring one goal for Salernitana in Italy, before moving to Olympiacos in Greece for the latter part of the season, where he made four appearances.
In a bid to shake things up, Cabral returned to Portuguese football; this time suiting up for Estrela Amadora in the 2024-2025 season. That year, he made significant contributions by logging 26 appearances and netting two goals, earning himself another season at the club. Fans of Estrela Amadora can now look forward to seeing Cabral in action in the upcoming 2025-2026 season.
