José Edgar Andrade da Costa (born 14 April 1987) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for C.S. Marítimo as a forward or winger.

He played 284 Primeira Liga games and scored 21 goals for Nacional and Marítimo, having started his career with a third team from Madeira, União.

Club career

[edit]

Nacional

[edit]

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.

Costa joined neighbouring C.D. Nacional in summer 2009, 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.

In summer 2013, Costa was loaned to Moreirense F.C. of the Segunda Liga.[7] He scored in wins at S.L. Benfica B (2–1)[8] and C.D. Feirense (4–0)[9] for the eventual champions.[10]

Marítimo

[edit]

Costa subsequently returned to the Portuguese top tier with C.S. Marítimo. On 27 November 2015, he was sent off in a 3–1 loss at Nacional in the Madeira derby;[11] in the reverse fixture on 2 April he scored a volley to open a 2–0 win.[12] He was named captain before the start of 2016–17,[13] and signed new contracts in November 2016[14] and June 2019.[15]

On 12 January 2020, Costa played his 200th top-flight game in a goalless draw with Vitória de Guimarães.[16] Starting from that August,[17] he signed three one-year contract extensions.[18][19]

In January 2023, Costa accused his agent Miguel Pinho of attempting to bribe him to lose to S.L. Benfica.[20]

International career

[edit]

Costa represented Portugal at under-19 level.[21]

Personal life

[edit]

Costa's younger sister, Érica (born 1995), played in the same position for Marítimo's women's team.[22][23]
