Club career

Braga

Born in Charneca, Lisbon metropolitan area, [2] Fortes started his senior career in Spain with Racing de Santander's reserves in the Tercera División. [3] [4] He then returned to Portugal after signing with Braga, [5] being assigned to their B team and spending two full seasons in the Segunda Liga with them, scoring 11 goals in 2015–16. [6]

Fortes played his only competitive match with the first team on 13 March 2016, featuring 90 minutes in the 3–0 away loss against Belenenses in the Primeira Liga. [7] He split the 2016–17 campaign on loan, with Şanlıurfaspor (Turkish TFF First League) [6] and Vizela (Portuguese second division); [8] a permanent move was later agreed with the latter club. [9]

Romania

In the following years, Fortes plied his trade in Romania, appearing for Gaz Metan Mediaș [10] and Universitatea Craiova. [11] He scored his first goal in the Liga I and top-flight football on 23 July 2018, helping hosts Gaz Metan to defeat Concordia Chiajna 2−1. [12]

Indonesia

Fortes returned to Portugal and its second tier on 10 July 2020, joining Vilafranquense on a two-year contract. [13] On 12 July 2021, however, he went back abroad and agreed to a one-year deal at Arema of the Liga 1 (Indonesia). [14] He made his league debut on 5 September, starting in a 1–1 draw against PSM Makassar. [15] He scored his first goal later that month, the game's only at Persipura Jayapura, [16] totalling 20 over the season to help his team finish fourth in the table. [17]

On 1 April 2022, Fortes moved to PSIS Semarang of the same country and league. [18] He left the club through a letter addressed to the management in January 2024, citing the desire to be closer to his family as well as offers from the Middle East as the main reasons. [19]

Later career

On 2 February 2024, Fortes signed a short-term deal with Al Dhafra in the UAE First Division League. [20]

International career

Fortes appeared with the Portugal under-20 team in the 2014 Toulon Tournament. [21] [22] On 25 March 2024, the 29-year-old was called up to the Cape Verde senior side to replace the injured Bebé in their 2024 FIFA Series squad. [23] He won his first cap the following day, starting the 1–0 win over Equatorial Guinea. [24]
