Young talent Rodrigo Teixeira signs professional contract | OneFootball

Rodrigo Teixeira has signed the first professional contract of his career, extending the relationship he has had with FC Porto since 2023. This season, the 16-year-old defender has played 19 matches and scored one goal for the under-17 team.

The left-footed center-back began his training at Dragon Force, went through Boavista FC, and joined FC Porto at the age of 13. Since then, he feels he has grown “as a person and as a player” and has started “to see things differently and with a winner’s perspective.”

“Honored to sign this contract with such a great Club as FC Porto,” says the young Portuguese international, who does not hide his “pride in seeing his work recognized” and adds: “This is just the beginning, there is still much more to come.”

Winning mentality“I have grown a lot since I arrived here. FC Porto has helped me grow as a person and as a player. I started to see things differently, with a winner’s perspective, because that’s what this Club gets us used to.”

Best memories“The times I have spent with my teammates, from training sessions to the games we have won, those will always be the best moments we experience here.”

Set goals“Our goal is to be as consistent as possible. We are in first place, the goal is to stay that way and concede as few goals as possible.”
