José Miguel Organista Simões Aguiar (born 4 February 1981), known as Miguelito, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for F.C. Tirsense. A speedy player he can operate as defender or midfielder, on the left side of the pitch.
Club career
Born in Póvoa de Varzim, Miguelito joined neighbouring Rio Ave FC's youth at the age of 10. He broke into the first team eight years later, contributing with 26 games in the 2002–03 campaign as the club returned to the top division after a three-year absence, as champions.
Transferred to Madeira's C.D. Nacional in the 2005 summer, Miguelito went on to be considered of one of the best left wingers in the Portuguese top flight. After an impressive season, in which he did not miss one match as the Madeira side qualified to the UEFA Cup (notably scoring against his former team, in a 2–0 away win), he was bought by S.L. Benfica on 22 August 2006,[1] having previously been voted the league's best defender by newspaper Record.
Midway through 2007–08, after having managed just three appearances in Portuguese League Cup, being barred by former Brazilian international Léo, Miguelito joined S.C. Braga in January, on loan.[2] In August he was released by the Eagles and joined C.S. Marítimo, which had just qualified to the UEFA Cup.
After a good first season Miguelito fell out of favour, inclusively being demoted to the B-team and, in late January 2010, moved on loan to C.F. Os Belenenses.
Personal life
Miguelito's younger brother, Sérgio Organista, is also a footballer. A youth product of FC Porto, he went on to represent, among others, Pontevedra CF.
