Nélson Diogo Freitas Cunha (born 10 February 1986) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for F.C. Famalicão as a midfielder.
Football career
Born in Guimarães, Cunha was brought up at local Vitória SC, where he spent his entire formative spell save for a loan at neighbouring GDR Amigos de Urgeses.[1] He started his senior career at F.C. Lixa in the third tier, reaching the professionals in the second part of the 2006–07 season with S.C. Olhanense but featuring rarely for the Segunda Liga club.
After one-and-a-half-years in the lower leagues with SC Mirandela, Cunha signed with C.D. Feirense in January 2009, helping them promote to the Primeira Liga in 2011. He made his debut in the competition on 14 August of that year, starting in a 0–0 home draw against C.D. Nacional.[2]
Cunha moved to Moreirense F.C. in the 2013 summer,[3] earning promotion to the top flight in his debut campaign[4] and subsequently renewing his contract for another year.[5]
