Bruno Tiago Fernandes Andrade (born 1 April 1981 in Santo Tirso, Porto), known as Bruno Tiago, is a retired Portuguese footballer who played as a midfielder.
After very brief spells in Portugal's first division and unassuming stints in Spain, he was forced to retire still in his 20's due to injury.
Having grown through the ranks of Minho's Vitória de Guimarães, Tiago moved to Spain in 2000–01, joining second division outfit 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 lowly Sport Clube Dragões Sandinenses, he signed with Gil Vicente F.C. for 2004–05, making his top level debut on 28 August 2004, in a 2–3 loss at Sporting Clube de Portugal, and finishing his debut season with 25 league appearances.
In July 2007, Tiago moved to Vitória's neighbours Sporting Clube de Braga, where after only week into pre-season he seriously broke his leg, being ruled out for the season's duration.[1] After two years without playing, he was forced to retire from the game, at only 28.
