Aguinaldo Policarpo Mendes da Veiga (born 25 March 1989), simply known as Aguinaldo, is an Angolan professional footballer who plays as a forward for Liga I club Politehnica Iași. Aguinaldo is well-travelled player, considering the fact that he has played for thirteen clubs in three continents and seven countries respectively.[1][2] He also has dual nationality, being an Angola and Portugal national also.

Club career

Bizertin

Tunisian championship competitors CA Bizertin gave Aguinaldo a two-season long contract back in 2013.[3]

Surprised by rumors circulating that he allegedly received some money from G.D. Interclube prior to leaving for Tunisia in 2014, the athlete denied such claims, stating that he had given it all back and that there is nothing they can do because he is not an Interclube player. He became a free agent when his contract with Recreativo do Libolo expired, before going to Tunisia.[4]

Doxa Katokopias

In January of 2016, Aguinaldo joined Greek club Doxa Katokopias FC. He later chose the number 89 jersey.[5]
