Daniel Santos Bragança (born 27 May 1999) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Sporting CP.

Club career

Born in Fazendas de Almeirim, Santarém District, Bragança spent his entire youth career with Sporting CP.[3] On 10 January 2019, he was loaned to LigaPro club Farense until the end of the season.[4] He scored his first goal on 14 April to open a 3–1 home win against Estoril,[5] and followed it five days later with another in a 1–1 draw with Penafiel also at the Estádio de São Luís.[6]

Bragança was loaned again to a second tier side on 9 August 2019, this time Estoril.[7] He was sent off on 3 November for pulling the hair of Académico de Viseu's Kelvin Medina, and received a two-match ban.[8]

Bragança made his Sporting competitive debut on 24 September 2020 in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League at home to Aberdeen, as an 86th-minute substitute for Wendel in a 1–0 victory.[9] Three days later he appeared in his first Primeira Liga game, a 2–0 away defeat of Paços de Ferreira where he featured 25 minutes in place of Luciano Vietto.[10] He finished the campaign with 25 official appearances – 21 in the league – for the champions, and was given an improved salary at its closure.[11]

On 18 December 2021, Bragança scored his first goal for Sporting, closing the 3–0 away defeat of Gil Vicente.[12] He missed the entire 2022–23 due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury.[13][14]

International career

On 5 September 2019, Bragança won his first cap for the Portugal under-21 team, playing the entire 4–0 win against Gibraltar for the 2021 UEFA European Championship qualifiers.[15]
