Football career edit

On 3 January 2016, Pereira made his professional debut with Braga B in a 2015–16 Segunda Liga match against Sporting B, winning 1–0 away.[1] On 12 May 2018, after the team avoided relegation on the final day despite losing by the same score at the same opponents, he and opponent Pedro Delgado were sent off.[2]

On 16 July 2019, Pereira was loaned to fellow second division team Académica de Coimbra for the upcoming season.[3] He played eight total games, but took no part at Braga on his return, leading to him joining Varzim S.C. in June 2021.[4]
