Paulo Jorge Carreira Nunes (born 16 June 1970), known as Paulo Jorge, is a Portuguese former footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Paulo Jorge was born in Luanda to Portuguese parents. During his career, he represented U.D. Leiria, AD Fafe, C.D. Feirense, S.C. Vila Real and Gil Vicente FC; having signed from the lower leagues into the Segunda Liga in 1998, he contributed seven matches as the latter team promoted as champions.

For the next six Primeira Liga seasons, Paulo Jorge remained an undisputed starter, going on to make nearly 300 overall appearances for the Barcelos-based club and retiring at the age of 38 after a ten-year spell. At the end of the 2003–04 campaign, as Gil finished 12th, his displays earned him the Portuguese Goalkeeper of the Year award.
