Rui Manuel Pinto de Lima (born 25 March 1978) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for S.C. Salgueiros (2008) as a left midfielder.
Football career
Lima was born in Porto. During his early and mid-career he played for hometown's Boavista F.C. on two separate occasions, also representing Gondomar SC, C.D. Aves (twice), G.D. Chaves, Vitória de Setúbal and S.C. Beira-Mar, experiencing his most solid period whilst at the latter with four consecutive top division seasons.
In the 2007 summer Lima started an abroad adventure, joining Cypriot First Division side AC Omonia. However, he would finish the campaign with another team in the country, Nea Salamis Famagusta FC, returning to Boavista in 2008[1] with the club freshly relegated into the second level.
After Boavista dropped another category in 2008–09, Lima returned to Cyprus, linking up with another former side, Nea Salamina. In late January 2010, however, he changed teams – and countries – again, signing with Hapoel Haifa F.C. in Israel.
