Club career

Born in Felgueiras, Porto District, Moreira spent most of his youth career in the ranks of FC Porto but played only lower-level senior football until May 2014, when he and A.D. Oliveirense teammate Zé Tiago signed for S.C. Covilhã.[1] He played regularly in two Segunda Liga seasons for the club, and scored in a 3–1 away win against Sporting CP B on 31 January 2016.[2]

On 31 May that year, Moreira moved across the league to newly relegated C.F. União, on a one-year contract with the option of a second.[3] When this ended, he joined fellow second-tier team Leixões S.C. on a three-year deal in May 2018, reuniting with his former Covilhã manager Francisco Chaló.[4] He was used almost exclusively in cup games, making only one league appearance and returning to the Estádio Municipal José dos Santos Pinto on 28 December.[5]
