Mickaël Meira (born 25 January 1994) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Zimbru Chișinău.[1]

Club career

Meira was born in Ajaccio, France to a Portuguese father, and emigrated to Portugal at the age of 9. He started playing football in the latter country with Grupo Recreativo Amigos da Paz, finishing his development at Sporting Clube de Portugal after signing in 2009.

On 16 December 2013, Meira made his professional debut with the latter club's B-team, appearing in a 2–0 home win against S.C. Braga B for the Segunda Liga championship.[2] The following 31 August he signed with AEL Limassol from Cyprus, showing resentment towards his former employer for treatment he received in a farewell message;[3] in the following transfer window, however, he returned to Portugal and joined Atlético Clube de Portugal, going on to compete with the team in one and a half second level seasons.

On 2 June 2016, Meira moved to Boavista F.C. on a three-year contract.[4] His first Primeira Liga appearance took place on 18 September of the same year, in a 1–2 home loss to Feirense.[5]
