Club career edit

Sporting CP edit

Born in Espinho, Aveiro District, Moreira spent his entire youth career in Lisbon with Sporting CP. He made his senior debut with the club's under-23 team, later appearing for the reserve one.[2]

Moreira scored his first goal for Sporting B on 25 October 2020, closing the 4–1 home win against B-SAD B in the third division.[3]

Vizela edit

On 19 June 2021, Moreira signed a three-year contract with F.C. Vizela, with Sporting retaining 50% of the player's rights.[4] He played his first match as a professional on 24 July, coming off at half-time of an eventual 2–1 away loss to C.F. Estrela da Amadora in the first round of the Taça da Liga.[5] His Primeira Liga bow took place on 6 August, when he replaced the same player who had replaced him the previous game, Francis Cann, in the 3–0 defeat at former side Sporting.[6]

Moreira scored for the first time in the top flight on 30 April 2022, in a 4–2 away loss against eventual champions FC Porto.[7]

Casa Pia edit

On 30 January 2024, Moreira joined fellow top-division side Casa Pia A.C. on a two-and-a-half-year deal.[8]
