João Pedro Ferreira Silva (born 1 August 1999), known as Jota, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Vitória S.C. as a winger.

Club career

Jota was born in Melres, Gondomar, Porto District. He started his senior career in the third division, with UD Sousense and S.C. Espinho.[2][3]

On 7 July 2020, Jota signed a three-year contract with LigaPro club Leixões SC.[4] He made his professional debut on 13 September, starting in a 2–2 home draw against Casa Pia AC.[5] His first goals came on 16 October, a brace in the 3–1 win over Varzim S.C. also at the Estádio do Mar.[6]

Late in the 2021 January transfer window, Jota joined Casa Pia of the same league until June 2023 after severing his ties to Leixões.[7] In the 2021–22 season, he scored 11 times to help his team return to the Primeira Liga after 83 years.[8][9]

Jota agreed to a three-year deal with Vitória de Guimarães on 1 June 2022.[10] He made his top-flight debut on 7 August, in a 1–0 away defeat of G.D. Chaves.[11]
