Fábio Fortes Moreira (born 8 March 1992) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for China League One club Jiangxi Lushan.
Club career
Born in Lisbon, Fortes joined Sporting CP's academy at the age of 10. He finished his development at Real Massamá also in the capital's metropolitan area.[2]
Fortes signed for Vitória de Guimarães in June 2011.[2] He never represented the club officially, being loaned to Trofense[3] and Mirandela[4] and making his professional debut in the Segunda Liga with the former side.[5]
After further third-division spells with Santa Maria, Lusitano de Vildemoinhos and Benfica e Castelo Branco, Fortes returned to the second tier in June 2016, on a two-year contract at Penafiel.[6] He scored eleven goals in his first season to help his team to the fifth place, adding eight in the second.[7]
Fortes and Arouca[7] were relegated to division three at the end of 2018–19.[8] On 8 March 2020, he scored four times in a 9–0 home rout of Ginásio Figueirense; the campaign, shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ended in immediate promotion.[9]
On 17 August 2020, Fortes joined Hermannstadt of the Romanian Liga I.[10] He played his first match in top-flight football one week later in a 1–1 away draw against Dinamo București,[11] scoring his first goal in his next appearance as the hosts drew 2–2 with Academica Clinceni.[12]
Fortes returned to Portugal in summer 2021, agreeing to a one-year deal with Académica de Coimbra.[13] On 27 June 2022, he rejoined Penafiel also in the second tier on a similar contract.[14]
Personal life
Fortes' younger brother, Carlos, was also a footballer and a forward.[15]
