Isnaba Graca signs for Uniao Santarem as Guinea-Bissau striker drops into Liga 3

Guinea-Bissau-born forward Isnaba Graca has joined Uniao Santarem from Felgueiras, with the 24-year-old centre-forward signing a deal until 30 June 2027.

The left-footed striker makes the move into Liga 3 after spending last season on the books of Felgueiras, having first arrived there from Maritimo B in 2025. His switch gives Uniao Santarem a tall, physically imposing option through the middle, with Graca standing at 1.93m and operating primarily as a central attacker.

Graca, who holds both Guinea-Bissau and Portuguese nationality, was born in Bissau on 4 January 2002 and has built his senior career in Portugal. He previously featured in Liga Portugal 2, Liga 3 and the Portuguese cup competitions, gaining experience across several levels of the domestic pyramid.

Over the course of his competitive appearances, Graca has shown an eye for goal in age-group and lower-tier football, including double figures in one under-23 championship campaign and further strikes in the Portuguese U-23 cup. His record includes goals in Liga New Gen, Campeonato de Portugal Serie B and Liga 3, as well as assists across various tournaments.

Before his move into senior squads, Graca was part of Leixoes’ youth system, progressing from the under-19s to the under-23s and then the first team, before later spells with Estrela Amadora’s under-23 side and Maritimo B. He was part of a Portuguese Under-23 Championship-winning squad with Estrela Amadora U23 in 2022-23.

Graca’s transfer to Uniao Santarem is a completed move, with the forward now tied to the Liga 3 club until the end of the 2026-27 season.
