Jorginho would help Setúbal achieve a secure mid-table position in 2004–05 – which was at risk following José Couceiro's departure to FC Porto – and while he could have left Setúbal during the January 2005 transfer window on a free transfer, he remained at the club and was presented with a victory in the Cup of Portugal: after scoring twice in the side's 3–1 semi-final defeat of Vitória de Guimarães, he played the entire 2–1 final win against S.L. Benfica,[1] and added nine league goals.
Jorginho eventually left for Porto, where he gained the confidence of manager
The following campaign, under Jesualdo Ferreira, Jorginho featured much less, but managed to score against former side Vitória in a 5–1 home success. On 30 August 2007, he signed with perennial UEFA Cup qualification candidates S.C. Braga, on a four-year link.[3]
In August 2009, Jorginho left Portugal and joined Turkish team Gaziantepspor on a two-year contract. He signed alongside Braga teammate Roland Linz, returning to Portugal after two years and joining Rio Ave F.C. also from the top flight.
