Hélder Miguel do Rosário (born March 9, 1980 in Lisbon; Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈɛɫdɛɾ ʁuˈzaɾiu]) is a Portuguese footballer who currently plays with Spain's Málaga CF, as a central defender.

[edit] Football career

Rosário started playing professionally with Sporting Clube de Portugal's feeder club, SC Lourinhanense, then had a stint with the former's B-team. From 2001–03 he had spells in the second division, with F.C. Maia and S.C. Farense.

In 2003–04, Rosário made his Portuguese Liga debuts, with C.F. Os Belenenses, also scoring his first league goal, in a 3–1 defeat at Sport Lisboa e Benfica. In the following three seasons, he was an important defensive element with Boavista FC.

Alongside countrymen Eliseu and Paulo Jorge, Rosário joined Málaga CF, in the Spanish second level, in 2007–08, and would only miss three league matches (out of 42) adding two goals, in home matches against Córdoba CF (4–1) and Hércules CF (4–6, also being sent off), as the Andalusia outfit was promoted back to the top flight after two years.
