Fernando Manuel Ferreira Fonseca (born 14 March 1997) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a right-back for AVS Futebol SAD.

Club career

[edit]

Porto

[edit]

Born in Porto, Fonseca joined FC Porto's youth system in 2009, from neighbours Boavista FC. While at the service of the former's under-19 squad he won two consecutive national championships, under the guidance of former club player António Folha; his contribution was praised by the media, who described an enormous work capacity on the right flank and aggressiveness in ball disputes.[2]

In the beginning of the 2016–17 season, Fonseca was promoted to the reserves by Luís Castro. His senior debut arrived on 24 August 2016, in a 2–1 home win against S.C. Olhanense in the Segunda Liga where he played the full 90 minutes.[3] The following month he signed a contract extension until 2020, although no values of the termination clause were disclosed.[4]

Fonseca played his first match in the Primeira Liga on 6 May 2017, profiting from the absence of the suspended Maxi Pereira and featuring the entire 1–1 away draw with C.S. Marítimo.[5][6] For the following campaign, he was loaned to fellow top-division team G.D. Estoril Praia.[7]

Gil Vicente

[edit]

On 30 August 2019, Fonseca ended his decade-long link to Porto by signing for Gil Vicente F.C. as a replacement for Kellyton.[8] He made his debut two weeks later, in a 2–0 loss at S.L. Benfica.[9]

On 8 March 2020, Fonseca suffered a serious left ankle injury against C.D. Santa Clara, and had to wait for surgery due to the coronavirus pandemic that had also postponed the top-flight season.[10]

Paços Ferreira

[edit]

Fonseca joined F.C. Paços de Ferreira on a three-year contract in September 2020.[11] On 15 February 2023, he left by mutual consent.[12]

AVS

[edit]

On 8 July 2023, Fonseca agreed to a two-year deal with recently-founded second tier club AVS Futebol SAD.[13]

International career

[edit]

Aged 19, Fonseca was selected by manager Rui Jorge for his 2016 Summer Olympics squad due to Fábio Sturgeon's injury.[14] He was first-choice during the competition in Brazil, in an eventual quarter-final exit.[15][16][17]

Fonseca earned his first cap for the under-21 side on 2 September 2016, in a 0–0 home draw against Israel in the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers.[18]
