Angolan defender Mindinho and Scottish midfielder Lucas de Bolle were presented on Thursday, July 10, as reinforcements for Portimonense , from the II Liga football team, both with contracts for three seasons.

Armindo Canji, 21 years old, known as Little Finger in his home country, represented Kabuscorp, after having trained at Petro de Luanda, with a stint at Interclube, all in Angola.

"I hope to be at my best at all times and help the club achieve its goals. My strengths are my speed and strength. I like to say I have everything a center-back needs, and I can also play as a defensive midfielder," said the Angolan player.

Lucas de Bolle, 22, who also has Belgian nationality, completed his training at Newcastle United in England, and also represented Hamilton United in Scotland and, last season, South Shiels in the English sixth division, playing 10 games and scoring one goal.

"Portimonense is a great club, in a good league. I'm here to give my all in every game. I like to use my intensity and physical ability to try to disrupt the other team," said the Scottish U-21 international in a press conference.

Defender Marlon Júnior, 19, from Sporting, who had been confirmed as a reinforcement last week, was also presented today, after having signed a two-year contract, plus an option for one.

"It's a great opportunity to develop as a player and as a person. Portimonense has the best possible conditions and everything good to offer its players. I believe I'll improve a lot and help the club," the player said.

Portimonense, coached by Tiago Fernandes, who succeeds Ricardo Pessoa, has already confirmed a total of 14 signings for the new season.

The Portimão team, which has one win this pre-season, makes its home debut against Penafiel, in a game scheduled for the weekend of August 9th and 10th.
