Anthony Paulo Rodrigues Correia (born 6 September 1999) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Liga Portugal 2 club Académico de Viseu.
Born in Castres, Occitania to Portuguese parents, Correia finished his development at Leixões SC. He made his Liga Portugal 2 debut with the club on 6 January 2019, as a last-minute substitute in a 1âÂÂ0 home win against S.C. Covilhã in new manager Jorge Casquilha's first match in charge.
On 8 August 2019, Correia signed for S.C. Braga. He was assigned to the reserve team in the third division.
Correia returned to the second tier in summer 2021, agreeing to a two-year contract with C.F. Estrela da Amadora. He scored his first goal as a professional on 19 December that year, closing the 2âÂÂ0 away victory over F.C. Penafiel through a penalty kick.
Correia continued to compete in the second division the following seasons, with U.D. Vilafranquense, AVS Futebol SAD, F.C. Vizela and Académico de Viseu FC. On 14 February 2026, he scored his first career brace to help the latter to defeat U.D. Oliveirense 4âÂÂ1 at home, and dedicated the goals to his former youth teammate (at Leixões) Nassur Bacém, who had died the previous month on the pitch from a heart attack in representation of amateurs LGC Moncarapachense, aged 27.
Correia's twin brother, Romain, was also a footballer and a defender.
