Paulo Sérgio Mota (born 13 July 1991), known as Paulinho, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Liga Portugal 2 club Académico de Viseu.
Club career
[edit]Born in Santa Marinha (Vila Nova de Gaia), Porto District, Paulinho began his football career with FC Porto, playing for the club from ages 10 to 18.[2] In 2009 he joined another northern side, Leixões SC, where he spent his last year as a junior.
In his second season as a senior with the Matosinhos team, Paulinho appeared in 27 league games (all starts) to help them to a midtable finish in the Segunda Liga. In the summer of 2012, he signed a three-year contract with newly promoted Moreirense F.C. for an undisclosed fee.[3] He made his debut in the Primeira Liga on 26 November, playing the entire 2–2 home draw against Sporting CP.[4]
With the exception of the 2013–14 campaign, Paulinho continued to compete in the top flight the following years, representing in the process Moreirense, C.F. União,[5] G.D. Chaves (two spells)[6][7] and S.C. Braga.[8] He scored his first goal as a professional on 21 August 2013, helping Moreirense to a 7–0 home rout of Chaves in the second tier.[9]
Paulinho joined Greek club AEK Athens F.C. on 7 June 2019, on a two-year deal with an extension option for another year.[10] He returned to Portugal on 30 January 2021, with Gil Vicente F.C. of the top division.[11]
On 17 August 2021, Paulinho signed a one-year contract with Moreirense.[12] In November 2022, he agreed to a two-year deal at fellow top-tier C.S. Marítimo,[13] but left at the end of his first season following their relegation.[14]
On 31 January 2024, Paulinho returned to both Leixões and the second division.[15]
