Tiago Manuel Oliveira Mesquita (born 23 November 1990) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Boavista F.C. as a right back.

Club career

Mesquita was born in Ribeirão, Vila Nova de Famalicão. After emerging through C.D. Trofense's youth ranks he made his professional debuts with hometown's G.D. Ribeirão in the 2007–08 season, with the team in the third division.

In the 2009 summer, having played in only 16 matches with the main squad over the course of two seasons, he signed – not yet aged 19 – with Deportivo Alavés in Spain, playing in the same level.[1] In his first year he appeared in less than half of the league matches, as the Basques failed to regain its lost status of the previous campaign.

Mesquita returned to his country in the 2011 offseason, joining Associação Naval 1º de Maio in division two.[2] Two years later he signed with his very first club Trofense, in the same category,[3] and he split 2014–15 between the second and third tiers, with Ribeirão and S.C. Freamunde.

On 17 June 2015, Mesquita signed for Boavista FC.[4] He made his Primeira Liga debut on 20 September, playing the full 90 minutes of a 2–0 away win against Académica de Coimbra.
