Last updated : 11 August 2008 By Wba-mad Editor

After just 12-months at the club Albion have today released Tininho from his Hawthorns contract with the defender likely to sign for Portuguese side Leixoes. The 27-year-old joined the Baggies from Beira Mar last July with Paul Robinson on the verge of exiting for Wigan.


However as Robbo's medical hit the rocks so did Tininho's first-team opportunities with the defender making just one appearance for the Baggies in last season's opener at Burnley.


Tininho did see further Championship action whilst on loan at Barnsley but after failing to make an impact in England is now heading back to his homeland.
