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

Guinea-Bissau-born forward Isnaba Graca has joined Uniao Santarem from Felgueiras, making the switch within Portugal as he signs on for the Liga 3 side.

The 24-year-old centre-forward, who also holds Portuguese nationality, has agreed a deal that runs until 30 June 2027, committing his next season to the club after leaving Liga Portugal 2 outfit Felgueiras. The move takes him back into the third tier following a campaign spent higher up the pyramid.

Standing at 1.93m and left-footed, Graca offers Uniao Santarem a physically imposing option through the middle of their attack. His record across Portugal’s lower divisions and age-group competitions highlights a player with a consistent eye for goal, particularly at under-23 level.

Graca joined Felgueiras in 2025 from Maritimo B, having first moved to Maritimo’s set-up a year earlier after leaving Estrela Amadora’s under-23 side on a free transfer. During his time in youth and B-team football he developed a reputation as a regular scorer in development leagues, including a productive spell in the Revelacao U23 competitions.

Across his senior and under-23 career he has registered double figures for goals in several campaigns, notably scoring 12 times in 25 matches in one under-23 championship season, and adding further strikes in the Liga New Gen and Campeonato de Portugal.

Graca, who began his senior pathway at Leixoes and progressed through their under-19 and under-23 ranks before reaching the first team, also has a Portuguese Under-23 Championship title on his CV with Estrela Amadora U23 in 2022-23.

He now links up with Uniao Santarem ahead of the new Liga 3 season after completing his move from Felgueiras.
