Tomás Tavares is the latest addition to Marítimo's squad.
The 25-year-old Portuguese right-back was unveiled by the island club this Saturday, having signed a contract valid for the next three seasons, extending until 2029.
Having come through Benfica's academy, Tomás Tavares was once a highly-touted prospect for the Eagles, making 26 appearances for the senior team during the 2019/2020 season. After leaving Benfica, the former Portugal youth international (who earned 47 caps for his country from U-17 to U-21 level) had stints at Alavés (Spain), Farense, Basel (Switzerland), Spartak Moscow (Russia), LASK Linz (Austria), Aves SAD, and Wisła Płock (Poland). Last season, he featured 14 times for the Polish club.
This move marks a new chapter in Tomás Tavares' career, and he is expected to significantly bolster the quality of Mitchell van der Gaag's squad.
