Tiago Filipe Sousa Nóbrega Rodrigues (born 29 January 1992) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for C.D. Nacional on loan from F.C. Porto as a midfielder.

Club career

Born in Vila Real, Rodrigues played youth football with three clubs, including Sporting Clube de Portugal and Vitória de Guimarães. Loaned by the latter he made his senior debuts with Amarante FC, in the third division.

Returned to the Minho side for 2012–13, Rodrigues initially represented both the A and B-teams, the latter competing in the second level. He made his top flight debut for the former on 21 September 2012, playing 45 minutes in a 1–0 away win against Moreirense FC, and also featured the full 90 minutes in the season's Portuguese Cup final, a 2–1 win against S.L. Benfica which was Vitória's first-ever win in the tournament.[1]

On 16 April 2013, before the campaign was over, Rodrigues agreed to join league powerhouse F.C. Porto on 1 July, moving alongside teammate Ricardo.[2]
