SC Ferreira do Zêzere is delighted to announce the first contract renewal for the 2024/25 season. Our esteemed captain, Rui Fortes, has extended his commitment to the club for another year. This renewal, made official by the club this Tuesday, continues the relationship that began in 2019 with the AF Santarém club.
At 29 years old, the pivotal player is set to embark on his sixth season with Ferreira do Zêzere. Rui Fortes, who was instrumental in the promotion season of 2021/22, scoring 23 goals in 34 games, has been one of the most consistent performers over the last two seasons. During this period, SC Ferreira do Zêzere competed in the Liga Placard. In the last season, Fortes scored eight goals in 24 games, and in the current season, which marked the club’s play-off debut, he finished with seven goals in 28 matches.
While Rui Fortes is the first player to renew his contract, he is the third player confirmed for the next season’s squad. SC Ferreira do Zêzere has already secured the services of Rúben Carrilho and Tiago Tavares, both on loan from Leões de Porto Salvo.
