At the young age of 20, Diego Rodrigues, born on the 24th of May 2005 in Portugal, carves out a promising career in football as a central midfield player for SC Braga. Standing at a commanding 6ft (1.85m) and weighing a solid 11st 9lb (74kg), Rodrigues does justice to his number 50 jersey.
Although relatively new to the professional world of football, Rodrigues' prowess on the field is no shy matter. His current market value is estimated to be around a solid £1.7m according to Transfermarkt.
In his debut season of 2024/2025 with SC Braga in his native country, Rodrigues made an impressive eight first team appearances. Ambitious and unabated, Rodrigues further showcased his passion for the sport in the subsequent season of 2025/2026, having already chalked up four first team appearances and claiming his first goal.
Rodrigues’ reach extends beyond domestic football, he has already dipped his toes in international waters. In the 2025/2026 season, he was part of the SC Braga line-up for the Europa League Qualifiers, getting his first start and coming on as a substitute twice. Subsequently, he made two appearances as a substitute in the Europa League.
His meteoric rise suggests that Rodrigues is one to watch, and as his career continues to unfold, he remains a beacon of hope for SC Braga. But will the Scottish giants ever cast their net as far as Portugal to lure such a talent? Only time will tell.
