Hugo Cerqueira Pinto Basto (born 14 May 1993) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Cypriot club AEL Limassol as a central defender.
Club career
Born in
On 8 March 2015, Basto was sent off in a 3–1 home loss against S.L. Benfica for a foul on Lima.[4] His first top-flight goal came on 19 April to open a 2–0 away victory over fellow strugglers F.C. Penafiel.[5] On 21 May 2017, as the team ended their stay with a 4–2 defeat at G.D. Estoril Praia, he was given a red card after 40 minutes for an aggression towards Bruno Gomes.[6]
Basto was due to return to the top tier with G.D. Chaves in January 2018, but the club accidentally registered Victor Massaia – who went the other way to Arouca – in his place.[7] By the new season, he was down the defensive pecking order.[8]
On 7 August 2020, Basto joined Estoril in division two.[9] A year later, having won promotion as champions, he moved abroad for the first time alongside teammate Harramiz to Azerbaijan's Neftçi PFK, on a two-year contract.[10] He left the latter on 3 June 2022 by mutual agreement.[11]
