Tomané Nunes

Football career

A product of Sporting Clube de Portugal's prolific youth system, Tomané made his first official appearance for the Lisbon club on 7 January 2006, playing 45 minutes in a 2–3 away loss against S.C. Braga for the national championship,[1] and adding another match the following week for the domestic cup. He spent the following season with F.C. Barreirense in the third division, on loan.

In June 2007 Tomané was bought by La Liga side Villarreal CF,[2] but spent the entire campaign with the Valencian's B-team in the third level, where he also failed to appear officially. He subsequently returned to his country, joining G.D. Tourizense in division three and scoring 13 goals in his first year, but only four in the following.

Tomané signed for C.F. Os Belenenses in the second division in July 2011, after netting 16 times for Tourizense in his final season.

Personal life

Nunes' younger brother, Flávio, is also a footballer. A defender and midfielder he also represented Tourizense, but spent most of his career with Académica de Coimbra.
