Rafa, 34 years old, forward for FC Porto’s roller hockey team, with 14 non-consecutive seasons at the club – the last 12 of them in a row – and recently honored with the Dragão de Ouro by vote of the club members, has reached an agreement to renew with the blue and whites for one more season, with an option for another, while the Invicta club is also securing a third season.

The player, a senior international – 113 matches and 81 goals – born in Barcelos, was at the end of his contract and even received an offer to return to the club where he started, Óquei, which welcomed him at age 12, but both parties always wanted to continue the “marriage.”

There were also rumors of possible interest from Benfica, which was not confirmed, and Rafa, just as he wished, will continue to wear the dragon on his chest.
