Rui Miguel Marinho Reis (born 30 January 1984), known as Rui Miguel, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for F.C. Penafiel as a forward.

Football career

Born in Ceira, Coimbra, Rui Miguel joined Académica de Coimbra's youth ranks at the age of 10, but never really broke into the main squad. He served two loans in the lower leagues and only amassed three first-team appearances, the first coming on 15 April 2006 in the dying stages of the season, at Rio Ave FC: the students won 4–1 and he scored as a starter.

In the 2008 summer Miguel moved abroad, to Bulgarian side PFC Lokomotiv Mezdra, netting three goals in the first half of the campaign. In January 2009 he changed clubs again but stayed in the country, signing with PFC CSKA Sofia alongside teammate and compatriot David Silva. He scored his first goals in his second match, netting twice against PFC Lokomotiv Plovdiv for a final 3–1 victory and adding another in his third appearance, against PFC Spartak Varna (2–0).
