Paulo Renato Valério Calado Rodrigues (born 14 May 1987 in Alcácer do Sal), known as Renato, is a Portuguese footballer who plays for C.D. Trofense as a central defender.

Club career

Renato was promoted from Sporting Clube de Portugal's famed youth academy in 2007–08, after having spent his first senior year at lowly Real Sport Clube, loaned. At the season's end, he was loaned again, to second division side S.C. Olhanense, returning to Sporting in June 2009.

In the 2009 summer, yet another loan for Renato, now to C.F. Estrela da Amadora: the Lisbon-based side had just finished in midtable in the first division, but was relegated to the third due to irregularities. He subsequently returned to Olhanense, with the Algarve team now in the top flight.

International career

Renato participated in the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup, playing all the matches as Portugal exited in the round-of-16 match.
