Tiago Jonas Ferraz Rodrigues, known as Jonas (born 1 December 1983 in Porto), is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a central defender.
Football career
In his country, Jonas never played in higher than the third division. On 15 June 2005 the free agent joined Scottish Premier League side Falkirk alongside compatriot Vítor Lima, being discovered by the club's player-coach Russell Latapy, who spent several seasons in Portugal as a player.[1] He made his official debut on 6 August, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 away win against Livingston.[2]
On 29 May 2006 Jonas was awarded a new one-year contract with the Bairns, after having played in 37 official games in his first season.[3] He would never appear officially, however, for the first team again, leaving the club in December 2007 and returning to Portugal.
