Club career
Born in Cascais, Lisbon, Taira joined Sporting CP's youth system in 2006 (aged 14) from neighbouring G.D. Estoril Praia.[1] He made his professional debut in 2011 with Córdoba CF in the Spanish Segunda División, signing a three-year contract[2] but making only three competitive appearances during his only season in Andalusia.[3]
In 2012–13, Taira returned to his country after being loaned to Atlético Clube de Portugal of the Segunda Liga.[4] The move was extended for the following campaign.[1]
Taira returned to his former youth club Estoril on 8 June 2014, after agreeing to a four-year deal.[5] He played 13 Primeira Liga matches in his first year, in an eventual 12th-place finish.
Taira scored his only Portuguese top-flight goal on 24 October 2015, in a 2–2 home draw against Rio Ave FC.[6] On 19 July 2017, he signed with Israeli Premier League team Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona FC,[7] and a year later Beitar Jerusalem F.C. in the same competition.[8]
After spending the 2019–20 season in the Romanian Liga I with FC Hermannstadt,[9] Taira joined top-tier B-SAD on a two-year contract.[10] On 31 August 2021, he moved to Casa Pia A.C. one league below,[11] totalling 28 games in his first season (24 in the league, one assist) to help to a return to the main division after 83 years away.[12][13]
In June 2023, Taira signed with Saudi First Division League club Al-Kholood Club.[14]
Personal life
Taira's father, José, was also a footballer and a midfielder. He appeared in more than 100 games in the Portuguese top tier, and also spent six years in Spain, representing mainly UD Salamanca.[15]
