Tiago Manuel Pinto Cintra (born 5 July 1989) is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a forward.

Club career[]

Born in Matosinhos, Metropolitan Area of Porto, Cintra played futsal before spending most of his youth career with hometown club Leixões SC, while also spending time at FC Porto. Loaned to Amarante F.C. of the third division in the 2008–09 season, he made his senior debut.

Cintra played 17 times and scored once[1] in the Primeira Liga in the 2009–10 campaign, as Leixões were relegated. A year later, he moved to S.C. Beira-Mar also in the top flight, where he was a fringe player for his first two seasons and was loaned to Segunda Liga side C.D. Aves in January 2013.[2]

In July 2014, Cintra signed a one-year deal with second-tier S.C. Freamunde.[3] Both he and fellow unemployed player Tiago Terroso were taken on by Varzim S.C. in November 2015, to play in the reserve team in the third level.[4] He later represented in that league C.D. Pinhalnovense and F.C. Pedras Rubras, as well as Leixões' reserves in amateur football.[5]

International career[]

Cintra won one cap for Portugal at under-21 level, coming on as a 60th-minute substitute in the 1–0 away loss against England for the 2011 UEFA European Championship qualifiers on 13 November 2009.[6]
