Introduction

Tiago Jorge Oliveira Lopes (born 4 January 1989) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Turkish club Denizlispor as a right back.

Club career

Born in Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto District, Lopes kickstarted his senior career in Italian amateur football. Returned to his country in 2010, he spent one season apiece in the third division with S.C. Espinho and C.D. Tondela.

In the summer of 2012, Lopes signed with Segunda Liga club C.D. Trofense. He played his first game as a professional on 12 August, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 0–2 away loss against C.D. Aves.

For the 2013–14 campaign, Lopes joined fellow league side S.C. Covilhã. On 19 January 2014, as his contract was about to expire, the 25-year-old moved abroad after agreeing to a two-and-a-half-year deal at CFR Cluj in the Romanian Liga I. He scored his first top-flight goal on 29 September 2014, the game's only in a home win over FC Universitatea Cluj.

In July 2017, Lopes moved on a free transfer to Kayserispor in Turkey's Süper Lig, on a one-year deal with the option of a second. After two years of regular game time, he transferred to Denizlispor in the same competition, on a contract of the same length.

Personal life

Lopes's twin brother, Hélder, was also a footballer and a defender.
