Jean-Baptiste Gorby, born on 25 July 2002 (age 23), is a French centre midfielder whose senior career has been shaped chiefly at SC Braga. His current market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Braga has been the main thread rather than a staging post. Across five league seasons with the club, Gorby has made 66 league appearances and scored three goals, establishing himself as a continuing first-team presence rather than a passing squad option.
The useful detour came in 2023–24 at Paços de Ferreira, where he had his most productive league season: 34 appearances and two goals. That spell gave him regular senior football and appears to have served its purpose without needing much dressing up.
By 2025–26 he was back as a regular part of Braga’s side, with 28 Liga Portugal appearances and one goal, plus 14 Europa League appearances with one goal and one outing in Conference League qualifying. In all competitions for Braga that season, he made 43 appearances and scored twice.
Gorby’s career remains centred on Braga, with the Paços spell sitting as an important development year. He is still young, still involved, and still building the substance of his senior record.
