Club career

Having started playing professionally with F.C. Porto in 1992–93, Jorge moved to Sporting Clube de Portugal in July 1998. Never an undisputed starter with Porto, he did help the northern side to five national championships and three domestic cups.

Jorge remained with Sporting until June 2005, adding two leagues and the 2002 cup. He played his final season, 2005–06, with another Lisbon club, C.F. Os Belenenses, subsequently retiring from the game and joining his final club's youth teams staff.

In May 2009, he was appointed Belenenses' head coach for the final two matches of the season, taking over Jaime Pacheco after a 0–5 home loss against Sporting de Braga, with the club in last place. At the end of the campaign, he returned to the youth ranks.

International career

Rui Jorge played for the Portuguese U-21 side which lost the 1994 European Championship final to Italy (1–2) and the Olympic team who finished fourth at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.

He also had 45 full caps, two for Porto and 43 for Sporting. His first game was a 0–0 draw with Norway, on 20 April 1994, in a friendly match. He played at UEFA Euro 2000, the 2002 FIFA World Cup and Euro 2004.
