Tiago Filipe Sousa Nóbrega Rodrigues is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Bulgarian club PFC CSKA Sofia.

Club career

Born in Vila Real, Vila Real District, Rodrigues played youth football with three clubs, including Sporting CP and Vitória de Guimarães. Loaned by the latter, he made his senior debut with Amarante F.C. in the third division.
Returned to the Minho side for 2012–13, Rodrigues initially represented both the A and B-teams, the latter competing in the second level. He made his Primeira Liga debut for the former on 21 September 2012, playing 45 minutes in a 1–0 away win against Moreirense FC, and also featured the full 90 minutes in the season's Portuguese Cup final, a 2–1 win against S.L. Benfica which was Vitória's first-ever win in the tournament.
On 16 April 2013, before the campaign was over, Rodrigues agreed to join FC Porto on 1 July, moving alongside teammate Ricardo. He never represented the first team in competitive games, going on to appear for their reserves as well as being loaned to Guimarães, C.D. Nacional and C.S. Marítimo.
On 1 July 2017, Rodrigues signed a two-year deal with Bulgarian club PFC CSKA Sofia. On 14 January 2019, he extended his contract until June 2022.
