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

After very brief spells in the Primeira Liga and unassuming stints in Spain, he was forced to retire still in his 20's due to injury.

Football career

Having grown through the ranks of Minho's Vitória de Guimarães, Tiago moved to Spain in 2000–01, joining second division club UD Salamanca where he would remain two 1/2 seasons (with a loan to lowly Real Ávila CF in between), without any impact.

Tiago returned to Portugal in January 2003 where, after a spell with Sport Clube Dragões Sandinenses, he signed with Gil Vicente F.C. for the 2004–05 campaign. He made his Primeira Liga debut on 28 August 2004 in a 2–3 loss at Sporting Clube de Portugal, and finished his first year with 25 league appearances.

In July 2007, Tiago moved to Vitória's neighbours S.C. Braga. After only week into the pre-season he seriously broke his leg, being ruled out for the season's duration;[1] following a two-year spell on the sidelines, he was forced to retire from the game at only 28.
