Rafael da Silva Floro (born 19 January 1994) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Sociedade Recreativa Almancilense on loan from C.F. Os Belenenses as a left back.

Club career

Born in Quarteira, Algarve, Floro played youth football with six clubs, including local CDR Quarteirense from ages 8–13. He finished his formation with FC Porto and, although he was selected to some Segunda Liga matches by the B-team to kickstart his senior career, he could never appear in the competition.

In the 2013 summer, Floro went on trial with English Football League Championship side Sheffield Wednesday, which had all of its full-backs injured, and signed a one-year contract on 6 August after impressing.[1] That same day, he made his professional debut, being replaced midway through the second half of a 1–2 away loss against Rotherham United for the season's League Cup;[2] his first league game took place on the 10th, when he played the first half of another 1–2 defeat, now at home to Burnley.[3]

On 10 May 2015, after no further competitive appearances for the Owls, Floro was released.[4] Shortly after, he returned to his country and joined Primeira Liga side C.F. Os Belenenses on a four-year deal.[5]

International career

In May 2014, Floro was picked by coach Ilídio Vale for his Portuguese under-20 squad which was due to appear in that year's Toulon Tournament. He made four appearances during the competition, helping his team to a final third position.
