Isnaba Graca: Guinea-Bissau forward joins Uniao Santarem from Felgueiras

Guinea-Bissau-born forward Isnaba Graca has joined Uniao Santarem from Felgueiras, completing a move that takes him from Liga Portugal 2 to Liga 3. The 24-year-old centre-forward has signed a deal running until 30 June 2027 with the Santarem club.

Graca, who also holds Portuguese nationality, switches after a spell with Felgueiras that included a loan to Lusitano Evora in the 2025-26 season. He moved to Felgueiras from Maritimo B in 2025, having previously arrived there on a free transfer from Estrela Amadora’s under-23 side.

Standing at 1.93m and left-footed, Graca arrives with experience across Portugal’s development and senior competitions. Across his career he has featured regularly in youth and second-tier setups, including Liga Portugal 2, Liga 3 and the Campeonato de Portugal, as well as the national cup.

His most prolific spells have come at under-23 level, where he scored 12 goals in 25 matches in the Revelacao U23 Championship and added further strikes and assists in the Portuguese U-23 Cup and other youth tournaments. In senior league action, he has registered goals in Liga New Gen, the Campeonato de Portugal Serie B and Liga 3.

Graca was part of the Estrela Amadora U23 side that won the Portuguese Under-23 Championship in the 2022-23 season, the standout honour of his career to date. Born in Bissau in January 2002, he has developed entirely within the Portuguese system, progressing through the Leixoes youth and under-23 ranks before stepping into senior football.

The move sees Graca commit his future to Uniao Santarem until the summer of 2027.
