Salvador José Milhazes Agra (born 11 November 1991) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for C.D. Tondela as a winger.

In a journeyman career, he made over 200 Primeira Liga appearances for Olhanense, Braga, Académica, Nacional, Aves and Tondela, while also being on the books of Benfica. Abroad, he had brief spells in Italy, Spain and Poland.

Club career[]

Early years and Olhanense[]

Born in Vila do Conde, Agra began his career with Varzim SC, joining the club's youth ranks at the age of 13. He made his senior debut in 2010–11, being a very important attacking unit – only one league game missed – as the Póvoa de Varzim team was finally relegated from the second division. He scored his one goal on 21 May 2011 in the penultimate game of the season, opening a 1–2 home loss against C.F. Os Belenenses.[2]

Agra signed for S.C. Olhanense in the summer of 2011,[3] penning a three-year contract with the Algarve side on 8 July.[4] He made his Primeira Liga debut on 13 August, playing 15 minutes in a 1–1 draw at Sporting CP;[5] his first goal was on 11 September as a substitute in a 1–2 home defeat to C.D. Feirense.[6]

Betis[]

In late January 2012, Agra joined Spanish club Real Betis who paid €300,000 for 60% of his rights,[7][8] but stayed with Olhanense until the end of the campaign. He appeared in just 14 competitive matches during his spell in Andalusia – scoring his only goal in a 2–4 La Liga home loss against Atlético Madrid[9]– being successively loaned to A.C. Siena,[10] S.C. Braga and Académica de Coimbra.[11]

While on loan to Braga, Agra was sent off for the only time in his career in a goalless draw to rivals Vitória S.C. on 7 December 2014 for an altercation with Hernâni Fortes, who was also dismissed.[12] He made four appearances from the bench in their run to the final of the Taça de Portugal; in that match, on 31 May, he missed the decisive penalty in the shootout as they lost to Sporting.[13]

Later years[]

On 28 June 2015, Agra cut ties with Betis and signed a four-year contract with C.D. Nacional.[14] On 1 July 2017, after the latter's relegation, he agreed to a three-year deal with Portuguese champions S.L. Benfica;[15] he spent his first year on loan, to C.D. Aves[16] and Granada CF (the latter in the Spanish Segunda División).[17]

For 2018–19, Agra joined Cádiz CF from Spain on a one-year loan.[18] In the following transfer window, however, he terminated his link with Benfica and moved to Legia Warsaw in the Polish Ekstraklasa on a two-and-a-half-year contract.[19] He quit the club a year early on 7 May 2020, having made only nine goalless appearances,[20] weeks before they secured the league title.[21]

Agra returned to Portugal on 14 August 2020, signing a two-year contract with C.D. Tondela.[22]

International career[]

Agra earned 15 caps for Portugal at youth level, including eight for the under-21 team. His first arrived on 5 September 2011, when he played the last 12 minutes of a 1–0 friendly win over France.[23]

Agra was also one of three over-23 players for the Olympic team in 2016.[24]

Personal life[]

Agra's cousin, Nélson, was a teammate at Varzim. Also born in 1991, he spent most of his professional career at the club.[25]
