Jorge Paulo Cadete Santos Reis (born 27 August 1968), known as Cadete, is a retired Portuguese footballer who played as a striker.
Born to Portuguese parents in Mozambique, he was groomed in Sporting's prolific youth system, and later was noted while at Celtic as he led the goalscoring charts in 1996–97.
Cadete amassed Primeira Liga totals of 233 games and 73 goals over the course of 12 seasons. A Portuguese international throughout the 90s, he represented the nation at Euro 1996.
Born in Pemba, Portuguese Mozambique, Cadete began his footballing career with Associação Académica de Santarém at age 15, scoring an impressive 43 goals in just 18 games. His exploits alerted Primeira Liga giants Sporting Clube de Portugal and S.L. Benfica, with the former winning the race to sign the promising youngster.
Cadete broke into the senior team in 1987–88, starting in four of his six appearances and subsequently being sent on loan to fellow league club Vitória F.C. for the following season, helping the Setúbal-based side to the fifth place. He thus returned to Lisbon, where he would play for the following five years uninterrupted and in the 1992–93 campaign he was the national championship's top-scorer with 18 goals.
