Orlando Carlos Braga de Sá (born May 26, 1988 in Barcelos , Portugal ), called Orlando Sá , is a Portuguese football player and national player.

Career

Club career

Sá began his career in the youth of Sporting Braga . For the 2007/08 season he was upgraded to the professional squad, but was not used because he was loaned to the then third division SC Maria da Fonte before the season began . After good performance for Maria Fonte he returned to Braga for the 2008/09 season, for which he made his professional debut on January 5, 2009 in the game against Belenenses Lisbon . Sá scored his first goal on March 7th against Estrela Amadora to equalize 2-2. On June 1st, he announced his move to Portuguese champions FC Porto . For the 2010/11 season he was loaned to Nacional Funchal after he only made two league appearances at FC Porto in the 2009/10 season. In 2011 he signed a contract with the English first division club Fulham . However, on June 30, 2012, the contract was terminated by mutual agreement. One month later, on July 30, 2012, he signed a three-year contract with AEL Limassol .

On February 14, 2014 he was signed by the Polish first division club Legia Warsaw . In Poland he was both cup winners and champions. At the beginning of the 2015 season he moved to the English club Reading FC , which at that time was playing in the Football League Championship , the second highest English league.

From there he moved to the Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv at the end of January 2016 . In the summer of 2016, Sa signed a four-year contract with Belgian first division company Standard Liège .

On February 28, 2018, an early termination of the contract and a move to the Chinese club Henan Jianye in the top Chinese division, the Chinese Super League , was agreed. After being out of the squad for half of the games there, Sa returned to Standard Liège in the summer of 2018 .

Since May 2019, Sa has not been able to play due to a partial rupture of the Achilles tendon on his left foot. The initially expected injury break of five months actually lasted until the end of December 2019. After his recovery, Sa was not part of the respective matchday squad for the rest of the 2019/20 season. After the season was broken off as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic , he reached an agreement with Standard on amicable termination of the contract.

National team

Sá made his debut for the Portuguese national team on February 11, 2009 in a friendly against Finland (final score: 1-0) when he came on for Hugo Almeida in the 57th minute . Three months earlier he was noticed by scoring a hat trick against Spain in the Portuguese U-21 game. There has been no international match since 2009.
