Bruno Miguel Esteves Vale (born 8 April 1983 in Mafamude, Vila Nova de Gaia) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Cypriot club Apollon Limassol as a goalkeeper.
Football career
A product of FC Porto's youth system, Vale was surprisingly picked for a Portugal friendly match against Kazakhstan (1–0) in August 2003, where he played 22 minutes as a substitute – at the time, he was only third-choice at his club.[1][2] The following year, he represented the nation at the Summer Olympic Games, backing S.L. Benfica's José Moreira.
Subsequently, Vale played the 2005–06 season on loan to C.F. Estrela da Amadora in the Primeira Liga,[3] also being selected to the list-of-23 for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. However, he injured his foot in a game against Germany in a UEFA European Under-21 Championship contest, and was forced to pull out of the squad.[4]
In 2006–07, Vale was loaned again, to top division side U.D. Leiria, where he went almost unnoticed the entire campaign, moving the following season to the second level with Varzim SC.
In July 2008, Vale was yet again loaned, spending 2008–09 at Vitória de Setúbal in the top flight. The same happened in the following summer, and he again was backup or third-choice in the 2009–10 campaign, now at Lisbon-based C.F. Os Belenenses – an injury to Nélson Pereira eventually propelled him to the starting eleven, as the club suffered top flight relegation as second from bottom.
In the 2010 summer, Vale was finally released by Porto, resuming his career with U.D. Oliveirense in division two.[5] On 26 June 2012, the 29-year-old moved abroad for the first time, signing a two-year contract with Apollon Limassol in the Cypriot First Division.
