Filipe Chaby
Carlos Filipe Fonseca Chaby (born 22 January 1994) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for C.D. Nacional on loan from Sporting CP as an attacking midfielder.
Club career
Born in Setúbal, Chaby joined Sporting CP's youth system at the age of 12, from local Vitória FC. On 1 December 2011, whilst still a junior, he remained an unused subs*ute in the 2–0 home win against FC Zürich in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League, alongside fellow youth graduate João Carlos. He had first appeared in the Segunda Liga with the B team three months earlier, starting and playing 61 minutes in a 1–0 loss at U.D. Oliveirense.
On 20 January 2015, Chaby was loaned to C.F. União of the second division until the end of the season, and he started in 14 of his appearances for the club as it achieved promotion to the Primeira Liga after more than two decades, scoring in a 3–1 away victory over S.L. Benfica B on 1 March. On 30 August, he returned to Madeira until the end of the campaign, also on loan.
In early June 2017, Chaby joined C.F. Os Belenenses on a four-year contract. During his spell at the Estádio do Restelo, he was often sidelined with injury problems.
Sporting reacquired Chaby in January 2019, and loaned him immediately to G.D. Estoril Praia in the second tier. More of the same in the ensuing off-season, as he signed with fellow league side Académica de Coimbra.
