Club career

Born in Lisbon, Braga moved to Brazil in 1995, aged two. In 2009, he joined Fluminense's youth setup, after a stint at Internacional,[1] and was promoted to the former's first team ahead of the 2012 campaign.[2]

Braga made his senior debut on 21 January 2012, coming on as a late substitute for Alejandro Martinuccio in a 3–0 home win against Friburguense for the Campeonato Carioca championship.[3] He scored his first goal on 28 April, netting the first in a 2–0 home success over Volta Redonda.[4]

Braga made his Série A debut on 20 May, starting in a 1–0 win at Corinthians,[5] and finished the season with eight league matches, as his side was crowned champions. In August 2013 he was linked to a move to Modena,[6] but the deal later collapsed.[7]

On 27 August 2014, after being rarely used, Braga was loaned to América-RN until December.[8] He appeared in only four matches for the side, which eventually suffered relegation.

On 28 January 2015 Braga moved to CSM Studențesc Iași, signing a six-month contract after being released by Flu.[9] He scored his first professional goal on 9 March, netting the last in a 2–0 away win against FC Petrolul Ploiești.

Braga returned to Brazil on 6 January 2016, signing for Coritiba Foot Ball Club.[10] Unused as they finished runners-up in the Campeonato Paranaense, he made his debut on 4 June, replacing César Eduardo González for the final 20 minutes of a 2–1 loss at national champions Sport Club Corinthians Paulista.[11]

Personal life

Braga's father, Abel, was also a footballer. A central defender, he also represented Fluminense.[1]
