Diogo Gonçalo Baptista Pires (born 7 May 1993) is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a midfielder for S.C. Ideal.

Football career

[edit]

Born in Lisbon, Pires spent most of his youth career with local C.F. Os Belenenses.[2] He made his professional debut on 5 August 2012 while at the service of Atlético Clube de Portugal, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–0 home win against S.C. Covilhã for the first round of the Taça da Liga.[3]

On 15 May 2013, after a loan in the lower leagues at S.U. 1º de Dezembro, Pires signed a two-year contract with Segunda Liga club C.D. Aves.[4] His first match in the competition occurred on 18 August, when he played 18 minutes in the 1–1 away draw to U.D. Oliveirense.[5]

Pires competed in the third level in the following seasons, representing in quick succession G.D. Ribeirão, Clube Oriental de Lisboa, S.C. Ideal[6] and S.U. Sintrense.[7] The exception to this was 2015–16, when he appeared for former side Atlético in the second tier.[8]
