Jorge Manuel Catarino Madureira (born 5 February 1976) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a central midfielder.
Born in Matosinhos, Madureira joined FC Porto's youth system at the age of 10. In the 1993–94 season he made his debut with the first team, starting in a 0–0 home draw against S.C. Beira-Mar on 2 June 1994 in what would be his only competitive appearance.[1]
Subsequently, Madureira played for Leça FC (Primeira Liga, only five matches) and Gil Vicente FC (Segunda Liga), spending the next two years with C.D. Aves in the second division. He returned to the top flight for the 1998–99 campaign, but only featured once for Académica de Coimbra – a 0–5 home loss to F.C. Alverca – who also suffered relegation as last.[2]
In the following seasons, Madureira represented A.D. Esposende, F.C. Penafiel and Vilanovense FC, then signed a contract with second-tier club S.C. Salgueiros. After one year with F.C. Pedras Rubras in division three, he returned to Leça for three additional campaigns, helping the club to return to that level in his second year[3] and retiring professionally in June 2008, at the age of 32.
Madureira won 15 caps for the Portugal under-20 team, adding another appearance with the under-21s. He played all the matches for the former side at the 1995 FIFA World Youth Championship, in a third-place finish.[4]
