Jean-Baptiste Gorby (born 25 July 2002, age 24) is a French centre midfielder with SC Braga, the club that has shaped most of his senior football. His current market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Braga has been the main thread of his career, with 67 league appearances and three league goals across five seasons. The useful interruption came in 2023–24, when a loan spell at Paços de Ferreira gave him a proper run of football: 34 league appearances and two goals, his most productive campaign so far.
Back at Braga, Gorby has continued to build his role rather than arrive fully formed. In 2026–27 he has made 18 appearances in all competitions, including 14 in the Europa League, where he has scored once, along with three Conference League qualifying appearances and one in Liga Portugal.
His career remains centred on Braga, with the Paços de Ferreira loan standing out as the season that gave him regular senior minutes. He is still a developing midfielder, but one with a growing body of first-team and European experience.
