Career

Club

Born in Rio de Mouro, Sintra, Portugal,[3][4] Vilhete moved to Barnet, England at a young age. He attended The Ravenscroft School, where he was tasked with analysing data from Barnet F.C. matches.[5] He joined Barnet's youth team in 2009 after turning down an offer of a scholarship from Aston Villa. Following a series of injuries to first-team regulars, manager Ian Hendon called him into the first-team squad in November 2009, however he only appeared on the bench during this time. In April 2010, he signed a two-year professional contract with the Bees. He made his debut on 1 May 2010 in a 2–0 away defeat to Grimsby Town aged 16,[6] becoming Barnet's youngest ever Football League player, breaking the record of 17 years and 46 days set by Kofi Lockhart-Adams against Cheltenham Town on 24 November 2009,[7] before losing the record to Mathew Stevens on 6 September 2014.[8] Vilhete scored his first goal for Barnet in October 2010 against Southend United in the Football League Trophy.[9] Vilhete joined Hendon on a one-month loan on 4 November 2011, where he made six appearances.[10][11] He then joined Boreham Wood on another one-month loan on 17 February 2012.[12]

On 31 August 2012, Vilhete joined Boreham Wood on loan again until January 2013.[13]

On 25 April 2015, Vilhete scored both goals in a 2–0 win over Gateshead to secure the Conference title for Barnet and promotion back to League Two. He was also awarded the Conference Player of the Month award for April.[14]

Vilhete was loaned to Boreham Wood for a third time on 30 October 2015.[15] He scored a day later, in a 2–3 home defeat against Gateshead.[16]

International

In November 2010, Vilhete said he wanted to play international football for either England or Portugal, but said "it would probably be Portugal in the end".[17] In March 2011, he was called up for a training camp with the Portugal national under-18 football team.[18]

Style of play

Vilhete has played on both the left and right sides as a full-back and winger, and has also played central midfield for Barnet. He has been described as a utility player.[19][20]
