Sardor Rashidov completes a move to Portagul Primeira Liga club C.D. Nacional

The 27-year-old striker signed completed a move to Portugal side from FC Lokomotiv, reports club's media department on Wednesday.

After initially showing promise at club level with FC Bunyodkor, Rashidov was caught the eye of now-defunct Qatar Stars League side El Jaish. After settling in Qatar, the tricky winger quickly found his stride becoming one of the fiercest strikers in the league.

A big money move to Arabian Gulf League side saw Rashidov’s career stutter. A return to his homeland singing FC Lokomotiv Tashkent saw a return to form and Rashidov helped his club lift the Uzbekistan Super League title last season.

Now back in the national team set-up, Uzbekistan’s number seven is relishing the opportunity to show what he can do on the biggest stage of all.
