Career

society

Jorge Cadete was born in 1968 to Portuguese parents in Pemba , a port city in what was then the colony of Mozambique . At the time of Mozambique's independence, he and his family moved to Portugal. He began his football career at the age of 15 in Portugal at Académica Santarém. From there he moved to Sporting Lisbon in 1984 . After three years in youth, he was taken over in the 1987/88 season in the squad of the professional team. After four appearances for Sporting in the league, Cadete was awarded to the first division promoted Vitória Setúbal in 1987. In 29 games in the Primeira Divisão he scored eight goals and helped the club to stay safe. He returned to Lisbon during the 1989 summer break, where he played continuously for the next five years. In the 1992/93 season he was the top scorer of the national championship in the Sporting jersey with 18 goals . Towards the end of his time at Sporting Cadete was loaned out again in November 1994, this time to Italy to Brescia Calcio . During his time at Brescia, he only scored one goal in 13 Serie A games . After his return to Lisbon, he was rarely used. Overall, he had scored 81 goals in 203 games for the club of his youth.

On February 24, 1996, Cadete was introduced to the fans of Celtic Glasgow in Celtic Park in Glasgow during the league game against Partick Thistle as a new signing. Due to lengthy negotiations between Celtic and Sporting and problems with eligibility to play on the part of the Scottish Football Association , the change was not officially completed until April 1996. The transfer fee was given as £ 400,000. Following a complaint from Celtic chairman Fergus McCann , SFA chief Jim Farry was relieved of his duties after he was found guilty of deliberately withholding his eligibility to play. Cadete made his debut for Celtic on April 1 in the home game against FC Aberdeen , where he scored the fifth goal in a 5-0 win as a substitute. In the remaining six games of the 1995/96 season , he met five times in the opposing goal. Cadete was also very accurate in the following season 1996/97 and was top scorer with 25 goals. Although personally successful, he won no title with Celtic. Together with Pierre van Hooijdonk and Paolo Di Canio , Cadete became involved in contractual disputes with the club. He remained a Celtic player but went back to Portugal because of mental health problems and had not got used to living in Scotland without his family.

After Cadete did not appear in Glasgow for the preparation of the season in the 1997 summer break, he was unceremoniously given over to Celta Vigo for a transfer of around £ 3,500,000 . He played for the Galicians for a year and a half and scored a goal on his debut on September 27, 1997 in a 3-3 draw with Atlético Madrid .

In January 1999 he moved to Benfica Lisbon together with former Celtic teammate van Hooijdonk . A year later he returned to Great Britain and moved until the end of the season as a loan player to the English first division promoted Bradford City . He made his debut from the bench in a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa . He remained goalless in seven games. For the period from 2000 to 2001 Cadete was awarded to the Lisbon club CF Estrela Amadora .

After the expiry of the contract with Benfica in 2003 (the club had only played 19 times in four years), Cadete remained without a club. After failing to find a new team, he retired from football at the age of 33 and appeared in the celebrity version of Big Brother in Portugal.

At the start of the 2003/04 season, Cadete decided to return to active football at the age of 35. In late January 2004 he signed a short-term contract with the Scottish first division club Partick Thistle . Cadete, however, had already agreed to sign with the Raith Rovers and was even photographed in the Rovers' jersey. Cadete made his debut for Partick on February 22, 2004 against his former club Celtic. He was ridiculed by some Celtic fans. After half a year he left Scotland again and returned to Portugal for the 2004/05 season and signed with the third division CD Pinhalnovense.

Then he played from 2005 to 2007 for the FC São Marcos an amateur club from the town of the same name São Marcos da Ataboeira .

After the end of his career, Cadete had to struggle with financial problems and was dependent on government aid.
