It’s official! Rodrigo Rodrigues is a new Sporting signing. A Portugal Under-19 international, he joins the Club from Gil Vicente, the side for which he made his debut in Portugal’s top flight last season. The 18-year-old expressed his happiness at this moment.

“The feeling is one of great pride at arriving here, both for me and for my family and friends. Sporting is a huge club and, because of that, this step is a great joy for me and for everyone around me”, he began by telling the Club’s media.

The player, who made four appearances for Gil Vicente’s senior side, admits he always dreamed of reaching this level. “I always dreamed of this, but I never expected to get here so soon. Now I just have to keep working... Dreaming is free and we all have to dream, but for me, it’s one step at a time”, he said.

Next, Rodrigo Rodrigues spoke about his characteristics. “I play more as a right or left winger, but I’ll play wherever they want me and give my all in any position. I’m good with both feet and my strongest trait is giving my all on the pitch and doing everything to win”, it reads.

In that sense, the new Sporting player made that same promise to Sporting fans: “I will always give my all, in every game, to take Sporting as high as possible”, concluded the new player under Tiago Fernandes.
