There he played virtually the whole 2014-15 season, making 14 appearances and scoring goal, a performance that was enough to earn him a move to <strong>Europe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FC Porto<\/strong> signed him and used him in the B team for the next two seasons, while in 2017 he moved to <strong>Chaves<\/strong> on loan, making his debut in the <strong>Liga NOS<\/strong>. The following season, Rodrigo was looking for a team in the top flight to be able to prove himself and <strong>Deportivo das Aves<\/strong> gave him the opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>In his first season with the club, the <strong>Brazilian<\/strong> full-back made 33 appearances, scored once and contributed two assists, playing a key role in winning the club&#8217;s first title in its history. His first big step had been taken. But then another huge jump would come in the 2018-19 season.<\/p>\n<p>What followed was a total of 41 appearances, four goals, and nine assists, plus awards from the Liga NOS as the season&#8217;s top full-back, as well as many honors at pan-European level. Rodrigo had a great season and the scouts began to circle around him. <strong>Porto<\/strong> and <strong>Sporting Lisbon<\/strong> cast their nets, but <strong>PAOK <\/strong>moved quickly and managed to bring the <strong>Brazilian<\/strong> to <strong>Thessaloniki<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Our defender Rodrigo Souares turns 27 today, and PAOK FC would like to wish him many years of health, happiness and successes on both a personal and professional level.","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":559044,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1520,5],"tags":[2378,2457,2534,3766,12570],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.5.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Happy Birthday Rodrigo!
