Jean-Baptiste Gorby (born 25 July 2002, age 24) is a French central midfielder whose senior career has been shaped mainly at SC Braga. His game has not required much dressing up: he has built his place through steady league involvement rather than headline moments.
Braga has given the career its main line. Across five seasons, Gorby has made 68 league appearances and scored three league goals for the club, a solid body of work for a midfielder still in the developing bracket. In 2026-27, he has made two Liga Portugal appearances for Braga.
The useful detour came at Paços de Ferreira in 2023-24, where he had his most productive league campaign, scoring twice in 34 appearances. That spell gave him regular football and a clearer platform before his return to the Braga picture.
His current market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt. Gorby’s career so far is straightforward enough: a French midfielder developed largely through Braga, with one important season at Paços de Ferreira helping to round out his senior experience.
