Braga
Born in Braga, Artur Jorge joined local S.C. Braga's youth system at the age of 10. He started playing as a senior with the B team, going on to spend several seasons with them in the Segunda Liga; additionally, during 2014–15, he was loaned to Vilaverdense FC[2] and S.C. Freamunde.
Artur Jorge made both his main squad and Primeira Liga debut on 19 September 2016, coming on as a 71st-minute substitute for injured André Pinto in a 1–3 away loss against S.L. Benfica.[3] He contributed with a further 15 starts until the end of the season, in an eventual fifth-place finish.
On 15 August 2017, after renewing his contract for one year and less than one month on loan at Royal Excel Mouscron,[4] Artur Jorge agreed to a season-long loan deal with Romanian club FCSB.[5] His debut came three days later in an away match against SC Juventus București, scoring an own goal after just 13 seconds in an eventual 2–1 win.[6]
