Bruno dos Santos Moraes (born 7 July 1984) is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a striker.

Contents

He spent most of his career in Portugal, starting in 2003 with Porto.

Career

Born in Santos, São Paulo, Moraes arrived at only 19 to FC Porto in Portugal, from Santos FC. His career with the northern club would be marred by constant injuries – he made five Primeira Liga appearances in his debut season, and none whatsoever in 2005–06 and 2007–08. [2] [3]

Moraes' most productive season at Porto came in the 2006–07 campaign, as the Dragons won the national championship for the second year running. He appeared in 18 matches and scored three goals across the domestic league and the UEFA Champions League, notably taking part in both group-stage fixtures against Hamburger SV and netting in the second, a 3–1 away win 1 in November 2006. [4] [5]

Moraes spent 2004–05 on loan to Vitória de Setúbal, [6] where he appeared regularly, and started 2008–09 on loan with the same team, but the second spell was soon cut short due to injury. [7] [8] In January 2010, with a contract running until June, he returned to Porto, trying to persuade manager Jesualdo Ferreira to add him to the squad of the four-time national champions; [9] he did not and was loaned one more time, now to Rio Ave F.C. of the same league. [10]

In mid-February 2011, Moraes signed for Associação Naval 1º de Maio also in Portugal. [11] He featured regularly during his four-month spell in Figueira da Foz, but they could not finally avoid top-flight relegation. [12] In July, after an aborted transfer to Al Ahly SC in Egypt, he joined another Portuguese top-tier side, U.D. Leiria, [13] meeting the same fate at the end of the season. [14]

On 8 October 2012, Moraes moved clubs and countries again, signing a one-year deal with Újpest FC in Hungary. [15] In July 2015, after totalling only 11 games for Gil Vicente F.C. and Associação Portuguesa de Desportos, he joined Varzim S.C. of the Portuguese Segunda Liga. [16]

Personal life

Moraes' younger brother, Júnior Moraes, was also a footballer and a striker. He too represented Santos as a senior, as well as Gloria Bistriţa. Their father also played for that club as well as Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, whilst a sister ended her career early on due to injury. Moraes' mother won the São Paulo State tennis championship.
