José Manuel Bica Reis (born 16 June 2003) is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a forward for Vitória de Guimarães.

Career

Born in Mirandela in the Bragança District, Bica began playing at local SC Mirandela. In 2014, he helped the team to the district title by scoring 205 of their 258 goals; this drew the attention of the Big Three, of whom he chose to sign for FC Porto.

After playing for Porto and their farm team Padroense FC, Bica joined G.D. Chaves in 2019 and scored 19 goals in 20 games. In August 2020, he signed his first professional contract, for five years at Lille OSC in France's Ligue 1. He played for the reserve team in the fifth-tier Championnat National 3, but was called up for first-team matches.

On 31 January 2023, Bica returned to his country, signing for C.S. Marítimo and being assigned to their B-team in the fourth-level Campeonato de Portugal. He played 15 first-team games in the Liga Portugal 2 in 2023–24, scoring on 28 January in a 3–2 loss at AVS Futebol SAD; the following month he was suspended from the team allegedly due to a conflict with teammate Francis Cann, and his representatives pushed for a free transfer to Vitória de Guimarães as they believed that his contractual clause for automatic two-year renewal was invalid.

Bica completed his move to Vitória on 7 July 2024, signing a four-year deal.
