Simão Pedro Soares Azevedo

Simão Pedro Soares Azevedo, better known as Simãozinho, came through the youth ranks at Trofense before making his senior debut there in 2014. The move that shaped his early career came a year later, when he joined Braga's reserve side, where he stayed for four seasons.

From Braga, the path took him through a series of shorter stints: Estoril Praia, a brief spell at Chaves, and then three seasons at Penafiel between 2020 and 2023.

Internationally, Azevedo represented Portugal at youth level, featuring once for the under-20 side in 2014 and three times for the under-21s in 2016, making his debut in that age group in a 3-3 draw against Hungary. He did not go on to receive a senior call-up.
