Eusébio Armando Gomes Bancessi (born 4 August 1995) is a Bissau-Guinean footballer who plays as a winger.[1] He is currently a free agent.
Career
[edit]Bancessi was part of the youth system at Portuguese clubs Sporting CP and Benfica before moving to England in July 2013 to join the academy of Wolverhampton Wanderers.[2] After scoring regularly in the Under-21 Premier League he was selected in several matchday squads at first team level as Wolves won the League One title, but he remained only an unused substitute on those occasions.[3] During the close season he signed a new contract with Wolves that runs until summer 2017 (with the option of a further year).[4]
In October 2014, he was loaned to League Two side Cheltenham Town for a month,[5] for whom he made his professional debut on 11 October 2014 against Shrewsbury,[6] in the first of four appearances for the club.
Bancessi joined Telford United on a one-month loan and he made his debut against Gainsborough Trinity wearing the number 7 shirt.
On 12 August 2019, Swiss club FC Rapperswil-Jona announced the signing of Bancessi.[7] Following 40 league appearances for the club, Bancessi was released in February 2022.[8]
