A day after being officially announced as a new addition to Tondela, a team recently promoted to the Liga Portugal Betclic, Hugo Félix gave his first statements as an athlete of the Beirões. According to the former footballer of Benfica, it's good to return to a home he knows well.
"It's an important step in my career. It will be my first year in the Primeira Liga, a very competitive championship, it's good for evolution and to gain other things that I haven't won in this career that is still in the beginning, and Tondela is an excellent project for what I'm looking for," he began by saying to the official channels of the northern club.
Like his brother, João Félix, the young man will also wear number 79 and made a revelation about his new team: "It was here, in Tondela, that I gave my first touches to the ball, it was here that I started to get the 'bug', my whole family was in Tondela, I've been here too and it's very good to be back".
During his presentation, where he signed a contract valid until the end of the 2028/29 season, Hugo Félix left some words for the fans: "I promise a lot of desire, a lot of joy on the field. A strong desire to deliver good results, both to the Club and to the fans who are always important in all games".
Finally, aware of the current situation of the club, which is in the promotion places, the young man who shone in the youth ranks of Benfica pointed to the maintenance of the Beirões: "The goal is that, to conquer as many points as possible, to make a good classification and a quiet championship".
