Joao Costa

Joao Paulo Santos da Costa (born 2 February 1996), sometimes known as Andorinha, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Spanish club Granada CF.

Club Career

Born in Barcelos, Braga District, Costa joined FC Porto's youth system at the age of 10. On 3 October 2015, he made his debut as a senior with the reserves, in a 2–0 away win against S.C. Olhanense for the LigaPro. He added a further six appearances during the season, as they achieved the feat of being the first B team to win the championship.

On 11 September 2016, in the 94th minute of the league fixture against F.C. Penafiel, Costa scored to help the hosts earn one point after the 2–2 draw. On 29 November, he remained on the bench for the first team during a 0–0 home draw to C.F. Belenenses in the group stage of the Taca da Liga.

Costa went on to serve two loans subsequently, his first being with Gil Vicente F.C. still in the second tier. Afterwards, he joined Spanish Segunda Division B club FC Cartagena.
