Hugo Valdir Romão Cardoso (born 1 January 1984), known as Valdir, is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a left back.
Football career
Born in Olhão, Algarve, Valdir finished his formation with Sporting Clube de Portugal, but could only appear as a senior for its B-team. After two loans, at A.D. Ovarense and C.F. Estrela da Amadora, making his Primeira Liga debuts with the latter, he was released in June 2006.
Subsequently Valdir represented Associação Naval 1º de Maio, F.C. Paços de Ferreira and Rio Ave F.C. in his country, always being second or third-choice in his position. He spent the second part of the 2008–09 campaign abroad, with Standard Liège, meeting the same fate – no appearances whatsoever.
In the 2009 summer Valdir joined top division club Rio Ave FC, only appearing once for the Vila do Conde side in official games in two seasons combined (74 minutes in a 1–5 home loss against S.C. Olhanense on 28 March 2010).
