Luís Fernando Gonçalves Fernandes Tinoco (born 17 October 1986) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for F.C. Arouca as a left back.

Football career

Born in Barcelos, Tinoco reached local Gil Vicente FC's youth system at the age of only 10. He appeared in four top division games towards the end of the 2004–05 season, but went on to spend the following years on loan to amateur clubs, being released from contract in 2008 and joining another lower league side, Italy's S.S. MonosPolis.

In the 2010 summer Tinoco returned to his country's top level, but only featured once in the league with S.C. Beira-Mar, being loaned twice to teams in the second level. For the 2012–13 campaign he signed with another club in the latter category, Associação Naval 1º de Maio.

Following Naval's relegation to division three, due to irregularities, Tinoco moved to newly promoted F.C. Arouca in late June 2013.[1] He was presented the following month, alongside Rui Sacramento.[2]
