Jordão da Encarnação Tackey Diogo (born 12 November 1985) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Panthrakikos F.C. in the Superleague Greece. A defender or midfielder, he operates on the left side of the pitch.

Football career

Born in Lisbon of São Tomé and Príncipe descent,[1] Diogo made his senior debuts in 2005 with A.D. Carregado in the fourth division, on loan from F.C. Alverca. After one season he moved to England, going on to play amateur football in the country with Chelmsford City, Lewes and Aveley.

In 2008 Diogo had his first top flight experience, joining Iceland's KR Reykjavík. He was part of the squad that won the national championship in 2011, but only appeared in two league games, and also spent two seasons on loan to Greek team Panserraikos FC,[2] where he was sidelined for two months with a knee injury contracted in early November 2010.[3]

On 23 August 2012, already as a free agent, Diogo signed for three years with Panachaiki F.C. in the Greek second division.[4]
