Tomás Santos extends roller hockey deal to 2029: "Dream taking shape" | OneFootball

Tomás Santos has extended his contract with FC Porto until 2029 and will continue to develop in blue and white. National Champion in his debut season in Invicta – where he scored two goals in 36 games – the forward, only 17 years old, added international achievements to his record in 2025: in April, he won the Under-23 European Championship and, in August, led the Under-19 national team to the title, finishing as the tournament’s top scorer with eight goals in four matches.

“My childhood dream continues to take shape and I hope to help the Club, contributing to more victories and trophies,” said the forward, determined to “seize the opportunities that come” in order to become “a very important player for the team” of the national roller hockey double champions.

Vote of confidence“It’s very important to me. It’s proof that the Club trusts me and recognizes my effort, the work I have been doing, and the progress I’ve made so far. It’s very rewarding for a 17-year-old to feel that his work is being watched and that, in a way, things are going very well and are being rewarded. It’s very gratifying and special to be able to renew with FC Porto. My childhood dream continues to take shape and I hope to help the Club, contributing to more victories and trophies.”

The journey in blue and white“These have been very important times. I ended up scoring my first goal at Dragão Arena and that proves I am ready. It’s great to feel that I am evolving, that opportunities have come up, and that I have been able to seize them. I hope more and more opportunities come so I can contribute even more to FC Porto’s success with victories and trophies.”

Set goals“My main goal is to seize the opportunities that come and become a very important player for the team and for the Club. I know I’m still young, I’m 17, but I think I’m taking the right steps and I believe that, with time, I can start getting more minutes and providing more answers.”

New coach“The adaptation has been normal, I had already crossed paths with the coach in the national team and was already familiar with his working methods. All that’s left is to work as I have been doing so far and put into practice what the coach says. The results come on the field.”
