Club career

Born in Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto District, Zé Tiago played lower league or amateur football until the age of 26. In May 2014 he signed for Segunda Liga club S.C.

Oliveirense (4–1)[5] to help his team to a final fourth position.

Subsequently, Zé Tiago represented still in the second division C.D. Aves[6] and Académica de Coimbra.[7] He helped the former side return to the Primeira Liga after a ten-year absence, contributing 31 matches and four goals to this feat.
