Afonso Figueiredo

Afonso Mendes Ribeiro de Figueiredo (born 6 January 1993) is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a left-back.

Born in Lisbon, Figueiredo played youth football for three clubs, including local Sporting CP from ages 10 to 16.

In the summer of 2010 he joined S.C. Braga to complete his development, and made his debut as a senior with the latter's reserves, playing his first game in the Segunda Liga on 19 August 2012 in a 0–0 home draw against Associação Naval 1º de Maio (as a late substitute).

Even though the team finished outside the promotion zone, they were reinstated in the Primeira Liga following the final developments of the Apito Dourado affair.

[3][4] Figueiredo's maiden appearance in the Portuguese top flight occurred on 4 January 2015, as he featured the entire 3–1 home win over F.C.

[9] His first league game took place two months later, when he played roughly 30 minutes of the 1–1 draw with Olympique Lyonnais also at the Roazhon Park.
