Bruno Vale

Bruno Miguel Esteves Vale (born 8 April 1983 in Mafamude, Vila Nova de Gaia) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Cypriot club Apollon Limassol as a goalkeeper.

Football career

A product of FC Porto's youth system, Vale was surprisingly picked for a Portugal friendly match against Kazakhstan (1–0) in August 2003, where he played 22 minutes as a substitute – at the time, he was only third-choice at his club. The following year he represented the nation at the Summer Olympic Games, backing S.L. Benfica's José Moreira.

Subsequently, Vale played the 2005–06 season on loan to C.F. Estrela da Amadora in the top division, also being selected to the list-of-23 for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. However, he injured his foot in a game against Germany in a UEFA European Under-21 Championship contest, and was forced to pull out of the squad.

In 2006–07, Vale was loaned again, to first division side U.D. Leiria, where he went almost unnoticed the entire campaign, moving the following season to the second level with Varzim SC.
