Our protagonist is Mario Dorgeles, born on the 7th of August, 2004, in the Ivory Coast. At the tender age of 21, he's etched out a place for himself as a formidable midfielder - primarily a central one - for SC Braga. With a height of 5ft 9in (1.77m) and tipping the scales at 11stone (70kg), his physicality harmoniously pairs with his skill on the field. Additionally, it's important to mention that Dorgeles sports the number 20 jersey and has the honour of representing his home country, the Ivory Coast, on the international stage.
As every football aficionado knows, the market value is the de facto standard by which a player's potential is often measured, and Dorgerles is no exception to this rule. Transfermarkt, a leading authority in such matters, estimates his current market value at approximately £3.5m.
Let's delve into Dorgeles' career history a bit. In his initiation season of 2022 - 2023 at FC Nordsjaelland in Denmark, he made 15 first-team appearances. A feat in itself; however, he didn't stop there. In the following season (2023 - 2024), he not only increased his first-team appearances to 23 but also managed to score his maiden goal. The rise continued in the 2024 - 2025 season with an impressive 30 first-team appearances and two goals to his name.
Fast forward to the current season of 2025 - 2026. Dorgeles has just stepped into the Portuguese football landscape with SC Braga and has already claimed three first-team appearances. Besides his regular league performances, he's also been active in the European circuit, with six starts in the Europa League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026 under his belt.
