João Paulo Santos da Costa (born 2 February 1996), sometimes known as Andorinha, [2] is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Liga Portugal 2 club Feirense.
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 in the LigaPro. [3] He added a further six appearances during the season, as they achieved the feat of being the first B team to win the championship. [4] [5]
On 11 September 2016, in the 94th minute of the league fixture against F.C. Penafiel, Costa scored to help the hosts to earn one point after the 2–2 draw. [6] 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 Taça da Liga. [7]
Costa went on to serve two loans subsequently, his first being with Gil Vicente F.C. still in the second tier. [8] Afterwards, he joined Spanish Segunda División B club FC Cartagena. [9]
On 14 August 2019, Costa signed a permanent one-year deal with CD Mirandés, newly promoted to Segunda División. [10] He played two extra-time away wins in the Copa del Rey, and his sole league appearance was a 4–0 loss at Racing de Santander on 17 September. [11] Following the arrival of Raúl Lizoain, he left on 27 January 2020 and moved to Club Recreativo Granada on an 18-month deal. [12]
Initially a part of the first team for the 2021 pre-season, Costa spent the 2021–22 campaign unregistered by both the main and reserve squads as he was already 25. [13] In August 2022, he joined Real Murcia CF of the Primera Federación. [14]
Costa returned to Portugal on 16 August 2023, on a contract at second-tier club C.D. Feirense. [15]
