Bruno Tiago Fernandes Andrade (born 1 April 1981), known as Bruno Tiago, is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a midfielder.

Following two seasons in the Primeira Liga with Gil Vicente and unassuming experiences in Spain, he retired still in his 20s due to injury.

Club career

[edit]

Bruno Tiago was born in Santo Tirso, Porto District. Having grown through the ranks of Minho's Vitória de Guimarães,[1] he moved to Spain in 2000–01, joining Segunda División club UD Salamanca where he would remain two and a half seasons (with a loan to lowly Real Ávila CF in between), without any impact.[2]

Bruno Tiago returned to Portugal in January 2003 where, after a stint with S.C. Dragões Sandinenses, he signed a three-year contract with Gil Vicente F.C. for the 2004–05 campaign.[3] He made his Primeira Liga debut on 28 August 2004 in a 3–2 away loss against Sporting CP,[4] and finished his first year with 25 league appearances.

In June 2007, Bruno Tiago joined Vitória's neighbours S.C. Braga.[5] He broke his leg one week into pre-season, being ruled out for the season's duration;[6] following a two-year spell on the sidelines, he was forced to retire from the game at only 28.[7][8]

International career

[edit]

Bruno Tiago appeared in two editions of the Toulon Tournament with the Portugal under-20 team,[9][10] winning the 2001 edition.[11]
