Carlos Filipe Fonseca Chaby (born 22 January 1994) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder.
Developed at Sporting CP where he was only a reserve, he played 14 Primeira Liga games for Belenenses and B-SAD but spent the vast majority of his career in the second tier, where he made 172 appearances and scored 16 goals in service of seven clubs.
Club career
[edit | edit source]Born in Setúbal and of Mozambican descent,[2] 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 substitute in the 2–0 home win against FC Zürich in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League, alongside fellow youth graduates João Carlos and João Mário.[3][4] He first appeared in the Segunda Liga with the B team eight months later, starting and playing 61 minutes in a 1–0 loss at U.D. Oliveirense.[5]
On 20 January 2015, Chaby was loaned to C.F. União of the second division until the end of the season,[6] 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.[7] On 30 August, he returned to Madeira until the end of the campaign, also on loan,[8] but played just two cup games.[9]
In August 2016, Chaby was loaned again, to second-tier S.C. Covilhã alongside Cristian Ponde.[9] He scored a career-best six goals in an eighth-place finish,[10] including two on 23 April in a 4–0 win at Varzim SC.[11]
Chaby joined C.F. Os Belenenses in early June 2017, on a four-year contract.[12] During his spell at the Estádio do Restelo, he was often sidelined with injury problems;[13] on 29 January 2018, he was sent off at the end of a 1–1 home draw with S.L. Benfica for telling the referee to respect teams from outside the Big Three.[14]
Sporting reacquired Chaby in January 2019, and loaned him immediately to G.D. Estoril Praia in the second tier.[15] More of the same in the ensuing off-season, as he signed with Académica de Coimbra of the same league.[16]
Chaby left Portuguese football for the first time in 2022, joining FK Khazar Sumgayit of the Azerbaijan Premier League. Halfway through the season, he returned to Belenenses in Liga 3.[17]
On 4 January 2025, Chaby joined Super League (Indonesia) club Semen Padang FC.[18] On 22 November, he had his contracted terminated.[19]
