Lorenzo Gordinho Biography

Lorenzo Gordinho is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on April 26, 1994 in Benoni, South Africa. Lorenzo Joao Gordinho, a South African professional footballer, was born 26 April 1994. He plays as a defender at the Premier Soccer League side Bidvest Wots and for South Africa’s national team.

Gordinho, who made his senior debut in 2017 and has earned three caps for South Africa, is also an international full-time player.

Gordinho is the son of former Orlando Pirates and Benoni United player, Manny Faria. In his early years, he and his brother Anthony played for Easterns in Benoni and later in Balfour, before being invited to train with Orlando Pirates’ development team. From there Gordinho was signed by Kazier Chiefs at the age of 15 after being put into contact with development coach, Lucky Stylianou by close friend Masalealo Seanego. His brother later trialled in Brazil before joining Ajax Cape Town’s academy.

Following his return to Naturena, Gordinho managed just eight appearances over the course of the next year, before securing a permanent move to PSL rivals, Bidvest Wits on 14 January 2020, where he signed a two-and-a-half-year deal.

Gordinho, who had already progressed through the club’s academy, made his Kaizer Chiefs debut during the 2013-14 PSL season. He was coach Stuart Baxter. The club won a domestic double that year, with Gordinho making only two appearances in all competitions. Baxter’s departure in 2015 saw Steve Komphela arrive and he was selected to join the club’s captains’ committee. He became a regular member of the starting lineup. He was named PSL Player-of-the-Month for August and September 2016. In January 2017, Gordinho was one of four Chiefs players who travelled to England to train with Fulham as part of a relationship-building exercise between the two clubs. He was then invited to test with AaB, the Danish Superliga side. Later that month, he played for the side against Hoffenheim. However, a permanent move did not materialize and he signed a three-year contract with Chiefs upon his return from South Africa. He made his 50th league appearance with the club on 31 October 2017. He made his last appearance for Kaizer Chiefs that season. However, he was loaned to Bloemfontein Celt in January 2017.

Gordinho was called up to the South African national team in March 2017 by Owen Da Gama, who was then appointed interim coach. He made his debut under Stuart Baxter in June with a friendly defeat to Zambia of 2-1.

On 3 January 2018, Gordinho signed for Bloemfontein Celtic on a one-year loan as part of a deal which saw Celtic captain Kabelo Mahlasela join Kaizer Chiefs permanently.

He ultimately made 16 appearances across all competitions in his debut season with the club. Ahead of the following season, he was reunited with Komphela after the manager had taken over the club following Veselin Jelušić’s resignation and his own sacking by Chiefs earlier in the year. He made 14 appearances during the first half of the 2018–19 campaign before returning to Chiefs, despite Celtic attempting to retain his services for the remainder of the season.
