Date / Year of birth: 2nd February 1994
Position: Striker
Season of first appearance: 2012/13
Season of last appearance: 2012/13
Also played for: CD Operario (Portugal), Sport Lisboa e Benfica (Portugal) and Ramsgate
Portuguese striker born in Lisbon who had stints on the books of Operario and then Benfica as a youth. Sporting Lisbon then enquired about Olinto but he was unable to pursue the club's interest due to family commitments.
After moving to England Olinto trained with Margate for a while before having a spell with Ramsgate. He then returned to Margate for the 2012/13 campaign as part of the club's Academy.
After playing for the Under-18's and reserves throughout the season Olinto made his first team debut as a substitute in a 4-0 win over Cray in the Isthmian League Premier Division at Bromley on 1.4.13 and he also featured as a late sub in a 4-2 home defeat against Ebbsfleet in the Kent Senior Cup on 23.4.13. After that game Margate's joint manager Craig Holloway told the club's website "It's good to get some of the young lads involved with the first team, just to see how things work. He can go back to college and say 'I've come on for the first team' and it gives the other boys an incentive to work hard."
Olinto stayed with the club for the 2013/14 campaign too.
