Career
Club
Born in Lisbon,[1] Vilhete moved to Barnet at a young age. He attended The Ravenscroft School, where he was tasked with analysing data from Barnet F.C. matches.[2] 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,[3] 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.[4] Vilhete scored his first goal for Barnet in October 2010 against Southend United in the Football League Trophy.[5] Vilhete joined Hendon on a 1 month loan on 4 November 2011. [6]
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".[7] In March 2011, he was called up for a training camp with the Portugal national under-18 football team.[8] Vilhete joined Hendon on a one-month loan on 4 November 2011.[9]
