Diogo Jorge Moreno Valente (born 23 September 1984) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a left winger for S.C. Freamunde.
Valente was born in Aveiro. A product of Boavista FC's youth system he made his professional debuts for the northerners in the 2004–05 season, and quickly established himself as first-choice in winger positions as Boavista achieved two consecutive sixth places in the Primeira Liga.
Previously, Valente served a one-year loan at G.D. Chaves in the second division.
In July 2006, Valente signed for an undisclosed fee with FC Porto but, in January 2007, after appearing just once (albeit in an important match, a 1–1 draw at Sporting Clube de Portugal), he was loaned to C.S. Marítimo, where he scored in a 1–1 away draw against C.D. Aves.
Valente jumped the "loan train" again from 2007 to 2009, this time at Leixões S.C., in Matosinhos, which had returned to the top flight for the 2007–08 campaign. Alongside teammates Paulo Machado and Vieirinha, also loaned by Porto, he proved instrumental as the club retained its league status at the end of the first season.
On 1 July 2009, Valente left Porto by mutual agreement, joining S.C. Braga for an undisclosed fee. As the Minho side finished in a best-ever second position he appeared rarely, sometimes not even making the list of 18.
