Who is Igor Thiago?
Brazilian football player Igor Thiago Nascimento Rodrigues, better known by his stage name Thiago, was born on June 26, 2001 in Gama Federal, district in Brazil. He now plays forward for Club Brugge in the Belgian Pro League. The 22-year-old stands 1.88 m (6 ft 2 in) tall.
A look at Igor Thiago’s career
Thiago made his professional debut for Cruzeiro on January 22, 2020, when they took on Boa Esporte Clube in a Campeonato Mineiro match. Thiago ultimately signed for the Bulgarian champions Ludogorets Razgrad on March 2, 2022, following a flurry of reports. There he played in 32 league games and finished with 15 goals and 8 assists.
In order to more easily fit in with the Bulgarian team, he joined Ludogorets II. On April 18, he made his league debut with the second team against Litex Lovech, scoring his first goal in the process.
Thiago agreed to a four-year contract with Club Brugge, a team in the Belgian Pro League, on June 12, 2023. Ludogorets received a price that was unprecedented for a Bulgarian club. Only Kevin Denkey’s 19 goals for Cercle Bruges have scored more goals in 24 games than Thiago, who is currently the second-highest scorer in the Belgian Pro League.
Thiago will join Brentford on a five-year contract that will take effect on July 1, 2024, the company announced on February 14, 2024.
