Club career

Sporting CP

Born in Amarante, Porto District, Barbosa joined Sporting CP's youth academy at the age of 12. On 12 September 2015, he made his professional debut with the reserve team, playing 50 minutes in a 4–0 away win against Clube Oriental de Lisboa in the Segunda Liga. [2] He scored his first goal in the competition a month later, helping the visitors defeat C.D. Santa Clara 3–2. [3]

After half a season on loan at fellow second-tier club C.F. União, [4] [5] Barbosa returned to Sporting B and netted eight times in 2017–18 from 34 appearances, in a final relegation to the third division. [6] In the ensuing summer, he was loaned to Portimonense S.C. of the Primeira Liga. [7]

Barbosa played his first match in the Portuguese top flight on 13 August 2018, coming on as a 73rd-minute substitute for Felipe Macedo in a 0–2 home loss to Boavista FC. [8] On 30 September, during a game in the newly created under-23 league against S.L. Benfica, he was assaulted by the chairman of Portimonense's PLSC Rodiney Sampaio, [9] initially pressing charges for the incident [10] but sorting the situation out shortly after. [11]

Tondela

On 18 August 2020, Barbosa signed a three-year contract with C.D. Tondela. [12] On 23 October, he scored in a 1–0 home victory over Portimonense for his first ever goal in the top tier. [13]

Farense

On 26 June 2023, the free agent Barbosa joined recently-promoted S.C. Farense on a two-year deal. [14] He scored his first goal for the club on 12 November, netting from outside the penalty area in a 3–1 league win at Boavista; [15] the strike was later considered the Primeira Liga Goal of the Month for October/November. [16]

International career

Barbosa won his only cap for the Portugal under-21 team on 5 September 2017, replacing Benfica's João Carvalho early into the second half of a 2–0 home defeat of Wales in the 2019 UEFA European Championship qualifiers. [17]
