Hélder Tiago Pinto Moura Guedes (born 7 May 1987 in Penafiel) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Rio Ave F.C. as a forward.

Club career

Penafiel

Guedes played most of his career with hometown's F.C. Penafiel, mostly in the Segunda Liga. In 2008–09 he was loaned to F.C. Paços de Ferreira in the Primeira Liga, but his input during the season consisted of one game (31 minutes).

Guedes scored eight goals in 38 games in 2013–14, as Penafiel returned to the top division after a lengthy absence. He repeated the feat in the following campaign (in seven appearances less), with the club being immediately relegated.

Rio Ave

On 29 June 2015, Guedes signed a three-year contract with Rio Ave FC.[1] He scored on his competitive debut for his new team, coming on as a 70th minute substitute in a 3–3 away draw against C.F. Os Belenenses on 15 August.

Personal life

Guedes' father, José, was also a footballer and a forward. In an 11-year career, he amassed top division totals of 63 games and eight goals in representation of four teams. He died on 16 April 1997 at the age of 34, when his son was nine years old.
