Diego Rodrigues, born on 24 May 2005 (age 21), is a Portuguese centre midfielder whose senior career has been shaped almost entirely at SC Braga. He is valued at around £4m by Transfermarkt, a fair marker of a young player already getting proper first-team minutes rather than living on academy promise.
Braga has been the substance of it so far. Across three seasons, Rodrigues has made 31 league appearances and scored two goals, with the 2025–26 campaign his busiest to date: 20 league appearances and one goal. For a central midfielder still early in his career, that is a decent volume of work at a club with standards of its own.
The 2026–27 season has brought three Liga Portugal appearances and one goal for Braga. His career remains compact and straightforward at this point: a Portuguese midfielder developing through regular involvement at one club, with Braga still the clear centre of the story.
