Club career

Sporting

Born in Vila do Conde, Postiga joined Sporting Clube de Portugal in 2009 at the age of 13, from local Varzim SC. In August 2014, while still a junior, he was included in the B-team's 18-man squad for the Segunda Liga match away to S.C. Farense, the opening day of the season.[1] He made his competition debut on the 10th, coming on as an 87th-minute substitute for Filipe Chaby in a 0–1 loss.[2]

Additionally, Postiga competed with the academy in the UEFA Youth League and scored twice in an eventual group stage exit, starting with a penalty kick in a 3–1 win at NK Maribor.[3]

Rio Ave

On 27 June 2015, Postiga signed a three-year contract with Rio Ave FC.[4] On 12 January of the following year, having not featured at all in competitive games, he returned to the second division after being loaned to nearby Varzim for the remainder of the season.[5] Eleven days later, he made his debut for his new team, replacing Elísio for the final 23 minutes of a 4–0 win at Leixões SC;[6] his only goal for the Poveiros came in his final game on 8 May, concluding a 2–0 win at relegated Clube Oriental de Lisboa again from the bench.[7]

International career

Postiga scored a hat-trick for Portugal on 29 September 2012 in a 4–2 win over Iceland at the Ta' Qali National Stadium in qualification for the 2013 European Under-17 Championship.[8]

Personal life

Postiga's older brother, Hélder, was also a footballer and forward. He too represented Sporting, also being a longtime Portuguese international.[9]

Their father's cousin, Armindo, a member at Rio Ave, died in a fishing shipwreck off Figueira da Foz in August 2015.[10]
