Born in Braga, Artur Jorge joined local S.C. Braga's youth system at the age of 10. He started playing as a senior with the B team, going on to spend several seasons with them in the Segunda Liga. Additionally, during 2014–15, he was loaned to Vilaverdense F.C.[2] and S.C. Freamunde.
Artur Jorge made both his main squad and Primeira Liga debut on 19 September 2016, coming on as a 71st-minute substitute for injured André Pinto in a 3–1 away loss against S.L. Benfica.[3] He contributed a further 15 starts until the end of the season, in a fifth-place finish.
On 15 August 2017, after renewing his contract for one year and less than one month on loan at Royal Excel Mouscron,[4] Artur Jorge agreed to a season-long loan deal with Romanian club FCSB.[5] His debut came three days later in an away match against SC Juventus București, scoring an own goal after just 13 seconds in an eventual 2–1 win.[6]
Artur Jorge returned to his country and its top division on 13 June 2018, joining Vitória F.C. on a three-year contract.[7] He started in all but one of his 30 appearances in his second season, but his team were relegated to the third tier due to irregularities.[8]
In September 2020, Artur Jorge signed a two-year deal with APOEL FC of the Cypriot First Division.[9] He cancelled this arrangement at the halfway point after a runners-up campaign,[10] and signed a three-year deal with Moreirense F.C. back home.[11]
Artur Jorge's father, known by the same name, was also a footballer and a defender. He too played for Braga.[12]
