Nuno Miguel Almeida Costa Lopes (born 19 December 1986) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a right back.
Football career
Born in Lisbon, Lopes spent until the age of 23 in lower league and amateur football. During that timeframe, he represented S.U. Sintrense, Lewes (English sixth level), C.D. Operário and Boavista FC.
Lopes made his professional debuts in 2010–11, with U.D. Oliveirense, his first game in the competition occurring on 29 August 2010 as he played 69 minutes in a 1–0 home win against C.D. Fátima for the Segunda Liga championship.[1] Late into the 2012 January transfer window he signed with Primeira Liga club S.C. Beira-Mar,[2] contributing with 19 games in his first full season, which ended in relegation.
For the 2013–14 campaign, Lopes joined Rio Ave F.C. also in the top division on a two-year contract.[3] During his tenure in Vila do Conde he played understudy to Brazilian Lionn[4] and, in another winter transfer move, signed for Apollon Limassol in the Cypriot First Division.[5]
Personal life
Lopes' twin brother, Miguel, was also a footballer and a right-back. Both came through exactly the same youth system setup, with the exception of S.L. Benfica.[6][7]
