David Carmo

David Mota Veiga Teixeira Carmo (born 19 July 1999) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for S.C. Braga as a central defender.

Club Career

Born in Aveiro, Carmo joined S.C. Braga's youth academy at the age of 16. On 18 August 2018 he made his senior debut in the LigaPro with their reserves, playing the entire 1–0 home loss against G.D. Estoril Praia. He made a further 26 appearances during the season, which ended in relegation.

Carmo had his first call-up to the first team on 17 May 2019, remaining unused in a 2–0 Primeira Liga home win over Portimonense S.C. in the last matchday. He appeared in his first top-flight match on 17 January 2020, replacing Raul Silva at half-time of the away fixture with FC Porto and conceding a penalty shortly after which Francisco Soares failed to convert with the score at 1–0 for the visiting team (Matheus had previously saved one from Alex Telles), in an eventual 2–1 victory.

On 25 October 2020, in a 1–0 local derby win at Vitoria de Guimaraes, Carmo was sent off for a foul on Marcus Edwards; this prompted a melee in which one more player from each team was also shown a red card. He and teammate Fransergio were suspended for three games, while opponent Jorge Fernandes was banned for two.

On 12 November 2020, Carmo extended his contract for two more years to 2025. The following 10 February, in the second half of a 1–1 home draw against Porto in the first leg of the semi-finals of the Taca de Portugal, he broke his leg following a collision with Luis Diaz, who was sent off after a video assistant referee review.
