Thierry Rendall Correia (born 9 March 1999) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Serie A club Venezia.

Club career

Sporting CP

Born in Amadora, Lisbon metropolitan area of Cape Verdean descent, Correia joined Sporting CP's academy at the age of 10.[3] He spent the better part of his first year as a senior with their under-23 team.[4]

Correia made his competitive debut for the main squad on 29 November 2018, coming on as a late substitute for Bruno Gaspar in a 6–1 away win against Qarabağ FK in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League.[5][6] His first start was the following 4 August, in the 5–0 loss to S.L. Benfica in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira.[4]

On 11 August 2019, Correia played his first match in the Primeira Liga, featuring the entire 1–1 draw at C.S. Marítimo.[7]

Valencia

On 2 September 2019, Correia signed a five-year contract with Spanish club Valencia CF for a €12 million transfer fee.[8][9] He made his La Liga debut later that month, playing the full 90 minutes in a 3–3 home draw against Getafe CF.[10]

Correia scored his first goal as a senior on 7 January 2021, closing a 4–1 away victory over Yeclano Deportivo in the second round of the Copa del Rey.[11] His first in the league came on 9 May, in the 3–0 home defeat of Real Valladolid.[12]

Following the appointment of Rubén Baraja in February 2023, Correia became the undisputed first-choice.[13][14] On 27 October 2024, however, he ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee in a match against Getafe, being sidelined for the rest of the season.[15]

Correia made 160 official appearances during his spell.[16]

Venezia

On 2 July 2026, Correia agreed to a one-year deal at Serie A side Venezia.[17]

International career

Correia earned his first cap for the Portugal under-21 side on 5 September 2019, in a 4–0 victory over Gibraltar in the 2021 UEFA European Championship qualifiers.[18]
