Paulo Renato Valério Calado Rodrigues (born 14 May 1987), known as Renato, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for CD Operário as a central defender.

Club career

Born in Alcácer do Sal, Renato was promoted from Sporting Clube de Portugal's famed youth academy in 2007–08, after having spent his first senior year at lowly Real Sport Clube on loan. At the end of the season he was loaned again, to second division side S.C. Olhanense, returning to Sporting in June 2009.

In the 2009 summer yet another loan for Renato befell, now to C.F. Estrela da Amadora: the Lisbon-based club had just finished in midtable in the first division, but was relegated to the third due to irregularities. He subsequently returned to Olhanense, with the Algarve team now in the top flight.

From 2010 to 2015, Renato alternated between the second and third levels, representing no fewer than six clubs. On 26 February 2015 he moved abroad for the first time, signing with Major League Soccer side San Jose Earthquakes.[1]

International career

Renato participated in the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup, playing all the matches and minutes as Portugal exited in the round-of-16 match.
