Career

[edit]

Rochdale

[edit]

On 28 June 2019, Tavares signed his first professional contract with Rochdale.[2] Tavares made his professional debut for Rochdale in a 3-0 EFL League One loss to Wycombe Wanderers F.C. on 28 September 2019.[3] On 21 February 2020, Tavares joined National League North side Curzon Ashton on loan until the end of the season.[4]

Coventry City

[edit]

On 1 February 2021, Tavares signed for Coventry City on a two-and-a-half-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[5]

On 19 February 2022, Tavares made his first-team debut for Coventry as an 85th minute substitute (replacing Martyn Waghorn) against Barnsley at the CBS Arena.[6] On 26 February 2022, Tavares scored his first goal for Coventry in a 1-1 draw against Preston North End at the CBS Arena. Tavares came on for his second appearance as a substitute in the 94th minute (replacing Callum O'Hare), and scored a magnificent equaliser with the last kick of the game in the 98th minute. Preston failed to clear a free kick deep in stoppage time, and Tavares bent a sublime right-footed shot into the top corner to salvage the game.[7]
