Rodrigo Longo Freitas (born 13 March 1993), commonly known as Digão, is a Brazilian professional footballer who played as a right-back.[1]
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Digão joined Flamengo's youth setup in 2001, aged only eight. In 2011, after Rafael Galhardo's call-up to Brazil under-20s, he was promoted to the main squad by manager Vanderlei Luxemburgo and acted mainly as a backup to Léo Moura.
Digão made his senior debut on 21 January 2012, in a 4–0 Campeonato Carioca home routing of Bonsucesso.[2] On 18 June of the following year he renewed his contract, signing until the end of 2014.[3]
On 27 June 2014, after being rarely used, Digão was loaned to América-RN until the end of the year.[4] He made no appearances for the side, and was subsequently released by his parent club when his loan expired.
In October 2015 Digão moved to Volta Redonda.[5] On 1 December of that year he joined Portuguesa.[6]
