José Emílio Robalo Furtado (born 14 March 1983) is a Cape Verdean professional footballer who plays for Polish club Olimpia Grudziądz as a striker. He also holds Portuguese citizenship.
Born in Praia, Cape Verde, Furtado started his football career in Portugal with lowly Casa Pia A.C. in the Lisbon area, where he also made his senior debuts. In the 2003 summer he moved to FC Porto, playing one full season with its reserve side then moving on loan to another modest club, G.D. Tourizense.
In June 2005, Furtado, still on loan from Porto, signed with Bulgarian team FC Vihren Sandanski, where he scored regularly in the A PFG. In the following January transfer window he was sold to fellow league side PFC CSKA Sofia, for €300.000.
Furtado's spell with the "armymen" also started in a scoring fashion, but eventually ended on a sour note: he fell out with manager Stoycho Mladenov due to disciplinary breaches (being temporarily removed from the first team), and was also involved in a physical confrontation with captain Valentin Iliev, which ultimately led to his return to Portugal.
In the 2007 summer, Furtado moved to the Portuguese Primeira Liga as he signed with F.C. Paços de Ferreira. On 18 August he made his debut in the competition by playing the second half of a 1–3 loss at C.S. Marítimo, and was relatively used during the campaign as the club finished second from bottom and was relegated – later reinstated due to Boavista FC's irregularities.
