Tiago Alexandre Sousa Esgaio (born 1 August 1995) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for F.C. Arouca on loan from S.C. Braga as a midfielder.

Club career[]

Belenenses[]

Born in Nazaré, Leiria District, played youth football for three clubs. He made his senior debut in the third division, spending one season apiece with Caldas S.C. and S.C.U. Torreense.[2]

On 4 April 2018, Esgaio moved straight to the Primeira Liga after signing a three-year contract with Belenenses SAD to be made effective on 1 July.[3] He was then loaned to Torreense for the upcoming third-tier campaign.[4]

Back at Belenenses, Esgaio played his first match in the Portuguese top flight on 15 September 2019, coming on as a late substitute in a 3–1 away win against C.S. Marítimo.[5][2] He scored his first goal in the competition two weeks later, but in a 3–1 loss at F.C. Famalicão.[6]

Braga[]

On 23 June 2021, Esgaio joined S.C. Braga on a four-year deal.[7] Only two months later, however, he was loaned to F.C. Arouca also of the top tier for the season.[8]

Personal life[]

Esgaio's older brother, Ricardo, was also a footballer.[9][10]
