Personal Overview

I am a powerful player not only in attack but also in defense. The desire to always have the ball in my hands makes me a good passer with a strong kick and hard step, with the ease and impulse to crash. My experience as a centre as well as a winger has given me a wide range of set skill combinations including speed and physical power, both in the hand and feet manouevre. I am the Portuguese national record holder for the 40 metre sprint in 2019. I started to be involved in the development national teams since the age of 16. And at 17 I represented for the first time the Mens Sevens Portugal Team, which to this day I currently still do. I am a strong leader and have always held roles of leadership among my team which have transcended for when I play for the Portuguese national team. This has made me a very communicative player on the field. I feel prepared to experience rugby in another league and a new culture.
