Bruno Pires

A member of the youth academy at Atletico Paranaense, Bruno Batista Pereira Pires is a professional football player from Brazil. The young centre-back was a fantastic performer in the youth division and was always a key member of the team, with his jumping ability giving him an edge over opposing strikers.

In 2010, Pires finally graduated from the youth academy at Atletico Paranaense and broke into the first team squad. Although he is still behind, in the pecking order at the club, Pires continues to be a fantastic prospect for Paranaense who are expected to hold onto the youngster and give him experience through loan spells.
