Fábio Miguel Jesus Carvalho (born 21 December 1994), known as Fabinho, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Liga Portugal 2 club Lusitânia.

Club career

Born in Nogueira da Regedoura, Santa Maria da Feira, Fabinho joined local club C.D. Feirense's youth system at the age of 10. He spent his first three seasons as a senior in the Segunda Liga, notably scoring ten goals in 41 matches in 2014–15 to help the team to the seventh position, notably from penalties.[2]

Fabinho started in 29 of his 34 league appearances in the following campaign (two goals), as the side returned to the Primeira Liga after a four-year absence. He made his debut in the competition on 15 August 2016, featuring 77 minutes in the 2–0 away win against G.D. Estoril Praia.[3] He scored the first of two top-division goals on 22 December, opening a 2–0 home victory over F.C. Paços de Ferreira through a penalty; Platiny closed it in the second half in the same fashion.[4]

After leaving the Estádio Marcolino de Castro, Fabinho remained in the second tier, where he represented F.C. Famalicão (one and a half seasons),[5] U.D. Oliveirense (one),[6] Académica de Coimbra (one),[7] Leixões SC (four) and Lusitânia FC.[8]

Fabinho was part of the Portugal under-20 team at the 2014 Toulon Tournament.[9]
