Jacks Sousa extends FC Porto stay with youth contract | OneFootball

Jacks Sousa has extended his link with FC Porto by signing a youth contract, remaining in blue and white. The 16-year-old defender arrived in Porto in the 2024/25 season and, after playing for several under-15 and under-17 teams over two seasons, caught the attention of Manuel Prata, who called him up to the under-17 squad.

After receiving “a vote of confidence from FC Porto, which is very important, but also a great responsibility”, Jacks Sousa describes himself as “a player with a lot of grit, whose strongest point is defensive marking” and assures that he intends to continue to “take steps forward and improve every day”.

Motivation and responsibility “This contract is the result of my work. Receiving a vote of confidence from FC Porto is very important to me, but continuing to represent this Club is also a great responsibility. I am very demanding of myself and always try to take steps forward and improve every day.”

Arrival in Porto “My adaptation was difficult at first because I missed my family, and I also suffered a tibia fracture, but while I was recovering I adapted quickly. It happened in the blink of an eye, and that made me very happy.”

Training with the under-17s “It has been a very tough pre-season, it’s very hot, but the demands are at the highest level so that we can reach the end of the season happy, with our objectives achieved.”
