Fábio Miguel dos Santos Sturgeon (born 4 February 1994) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for C.F. Os Belenenses as a midfielder.
Club career
Born in Almada, Setúbal District to an English father and a Portuguese mother,[1] Sturgeon joined C.F. Os Belenenses' youth system at the age of 16. Still a junior he made his professional debuts with the first team, playing one minute in a 0–0 away draw against F.C. Penafiel for the season's League Cup.[2]
Sturgeon first appeared in the second division on 24 April 2013, coming on as a half-time substitute for Yacine Si Salem in a 0–2 home loss to U.D. Oliveirense.[3] He totalled four appearances as his team won the league title, getting a first start on 12 May in a 2–1 win at C.D. Trofense.
After being used mostly off the bench in Belenenses' first season back in the Primeira Liga, Sturgeon made his breakthrough in 2014–15, playing 31 games and starting all but four. In the opener, on 17 August 2014, he scored his first professional goal in the sixth minute of a 3–1 away success over Penafiel,[4] and his second came on 4 April in a 2–0 victory against Moreirense F.C. at the Estádio do Restelo.[5]
Sturgeon started all ten fixtures in the 2015–16 edition of the UEFA Europa League, in an eventual group stage exit.
International career
Sturgeon was eligible to represent England and Portugal internationally.[1] He appeared for the under-20 team of the latter at the 2014 Toulon Tournament, and gained his first cap for the under-21s on 13 November 2014, playing 21 minutes in a 1–3 away friendly defeat against England.[6]
