Club career

Born in Arcos de Valdevez, Viana do Castelo, Tiba played until the age of 25 in the Portuguese third division or lower. He represented during this timeframe C.A. Valdevez, S.C. Valenciano, A.D. Os Limianos and F.C. Tirsense; his professional debuts were made, however, in the Greek second level with Kastoria FC, for which he appeared from February to June 2008.

In summer 2013, Tiba signed with Vitória F.C. in the Primeira Liga.[1] He played his first game in the competition on 25 August, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–2 away loss against Rio Ave FC.[2] He totalled 30 official appearances in his only season at the Estádio do Bonfim, scoring a late equaliser for a 1–1 home draw against S.C. Braga on 21 April 2014.[3]

On 3 July 2014, Tiba joined Braga on a one-year deal for €500,000.[4] He missed only two games in his debut campaign, one being for his dismissal for handball on 24 April 2015 after scoring in a 1–1 home draw against C.F. Os Belenenses;[5] previously, on 7 January, against the same opposition, he concluded in a 7–1 win in the quarter-finals of the Taça de Portugal,[6] but was an unused substitute in the final loss to Sporting CP.

On 31 August 2015, Tiba and teammate Erick Moreno were loaned to Spanish Segunda División club Real Valladolid in a season-long move.[7] Subsequently, he spent the better part of the following two campaigns on loan at G.D. Chaves back in his homeland.[8]

On 2 July 2018, Tiba signed a three-year contract with Lech Poznań.[9] He made his debut ten days later, against FC Gandzasar Kapan in the UEFA Europa League first qualifying round.[10] His maiden appearance in the Polish Ekstraklasa took place on the 22nd, and he scored in a 2–1 away win over Wisła Płock.[11]

International career

Tiba never played for Portugal at any youth level. In late August 2014, he was selected by full side manager Paulo Bento for a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier against Albania to be played the following month in Aveiro,[12] but did not take to the field in the 0–1 defeat.[13]
