Joelinton, born on 14 August 1996 (age 30), is a Brazilian midfielder whose senior career has been shaped far more by Newcastle United than by anything before it.
His earlier development included a useful loan spell at Rapid Vienna, where the 2016-17 league season brought eight goals in 33 appearances. That remains his most productive league campaign, and it gave him a firmer platform before his career settled into its longer pattern in England.
At Newcastle, he has become a long-serving centre-midfield presence rather than a passing visitor. Across eight seasons he has made 215 league appearances and scored 24 league goals, with his role there carrying the weight of his career to date. His current market value is around £30m, according to Transfermarkt.
In 2026-27, he has made six appearances for Newcastle across all competitions: three in the Premier League, two in the FA Cup and one in the League Cup. The broad shape is straightforward enough: an early spell in Austria helped move him on, but Newcastle is where the career has been built.
