Fábio Alexandre da Silva Nunes (born 24 July 1992) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a left-back or winger for Polish club Widzew Łódź.
Born in Portimão, Algarve, Nunes played youth football for four clubs, including local Portimonense S.C. from ages 9 to 13 and 14 to 18. On 17 January 2010, whilst still a junior, he made his professional debut, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–1 home win against G.D. Estoril Praia in the Segunda Liga. He spent the 2011–12 season on loan at Parma FC,[3] but only appeared for the Primavera side.
In the 2012 summer transfer window, Nunes signed a three-year contract with Blackburn Rovers for an undisclosed fee.[4] He made his debut in the Football League Championship on 22 August, starting in the 2–1 home victory over Hull City.[5]
On 24 January 2014, after only eight competitive appearances, Nunes returned to Italy by joining Serie B team U.S. Latina Calcio on a free transfer.[6] In July, he returned to his country and moved to C.F. Os Belenenses.[7]
Nunes appeared in 17 Primeira Liga games in his debut campaign,[8] having renewed his link in December 2014 until June 2017.[9] His first goal in the Portuguese top division came on 9 May 2015, as he scored a last-minute equaliser in a 1–1 away draw against Académica de Coimbra.[10]
In January 2017, following a very brief spell with C.D. Tondela, Nunes returned to the Estádio do Restelo.[11] In the ensuing summer, the free agent agreed to a two-year deal at PAE Kerkyra of the Super League Greece.[12]
Nunes returned to Portugal and its second tier on 17 July 2018, joining newly-promoted S.C. Farense.[13] He scored twice from 23 matches in 2019–20[14] [15] in a return to the top flight after an 18-year absence, subsequently penning a one-year extension.[16]
On 28 July 2021, Nunes signed with Polish I liga club Widzew Łódź on a two-year contract.[17]
All categories comprised, Nunes won 27 caps for Portugal at youth level. His first match with the under-21s occurred on 15 October 2012, as he played the full 90 minutes in a 0–1 friendly home loss to Ukraine.[18]
