José Edgar Andrade da Costa (born 14 April 1987) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for C.S. Marítimo as a forward or winger.
He played over 220 Primeira Liga games and scored 20 goals for Nacional and Marítimo, having started his career with a third team from Madeira, União.
Club career[]
Born in Câmara de Lobos, Madeira, Costa finished his development at local C.F. União. He made his senior debut with the club in 2006, and played three third-division seasons with it.
In the summer of 2009, Costa joined neighbouring C.D. Nacional, appearing in 14 games in his first season in the Primeira Liga (nine as a substitute) and scoring two goals[2][3] as the team finished in seventh position. His debut in the competition came on 12 September 2009, playing 25 minutes in a 2–0 away loss against Rio Ave FC.[4]
On 14 July 2011, Costa scored on his continental debut in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League, opening a 1–1 draw away to Iceland's Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar.[5] In January 2012 he spent a week on trial at West Ham United,[6] but nothing came of it. Released by Nacional in June of the following year, he signed for Moreirense F.C. of the Segunda Liga.[7]
Costa subsequently spent several campaigns in the Portuguese top tier with C.S. Marítimo, where he was named captain before the start of 2016–17.[8] He signed new contracts in November 2016[9] and June 2019.[10]
On 12 January 2020, Costa played his 200th top-flight game in a goalless draw with Vitória de Guimarães.[11] He agreed to further one-year extensions that August,[12] and in the following May.[13]
Personal life[]
Costa's younger sister, Érica, played in the same position for Marítimo's women's team.[14]
