Bruno Manuel Araújo Braga (born 17 June 1983) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for G.D. Chaves as a midfielder.

Football career

Born in Massarelos, Porto District, Braga began his career with hometown's S.C. Salgueiros, being sparingly used over the course of two second division seasons. In 2004, as the club was in the midst of a severe financial crisis – which eventually led to its liquidation – he left and signed for F.C. Tirsense, going on to spend several years in the lower leagues; in 2006–07, he helped Leça F.C. promote to the third level.

In the 2008 summer Braga moved straight into the Primeira Liga, joining Leixões SC. He made his debut in the competition on 24 August by playing 20 minutes in a 1–3 home loss against C.D. Nacional, and finished his debut campaign with 27 games (22 starts) and five goals as the Matosinhos side finished in sixth position, narrowly missing out on qualification to the UEFA Europa League; two of those came at the Estádio do Dragão in a 3–2 win against F.C. Porto,[1] as he won the SJPF Player of the Month award for October 2008.

Mainly due to injuries, Braga appeared less in 2009–10, and Leixões suffered relegation. He continued in the top flight, however, signing with Rio Ave FC.
