Pedro Manuel da Silva Moreira (born 15 March 1989) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for F.C. Arouca.

Club career

[edit]

Boavista

[edit]

Moreira was born in Lousada, Porto District. He made his Primeira Liga debut in 2007–08 with Boavista FC, his first match in the competition being on 16 December 2007 in a 2–0 home win against Associação Naval 1º de Maio where he came on as a last-minute substitute, also being booked;[2] in spite of a 9th-place finish, the season ended in relegation due to the Apito Dourado affair.[3]

Porto

[edit]

In summer 2008, Moreira signed for FC Porto as a 19-year-old. He spent the next four years on loan in both the top division and the Segunda Liga, to Boavista, Gil Vicente F.C. (twice)[4][5] and Portimonense SC.[6]

From 2012 to 2014, Moreira competed with Porto's reserves in the second tier, where he acted as captain.[7] In the latter campaign, he helped his team to finish second by contributing 38 appearances and four goals,[8] but they were ineligible for promotion.[9]

Rio Ave

[edit]

Moreira was loaned to fellow top-flight club Rio Ave F.C. in June 2014.[10] He totalled 41 games with four goals for the season,[11] including seven to help his team to reach the group phase of the UEFA Europa League.[12]

On 22 July 2015, Moreira joined Rio Ave on a permanent three-year contract.[13]

Later career

[edit]

Moreira agreed to a deal at FC Hermannstadt of the Romanian Liga I on 18 October 2018.[14] He returned to Portugal in February 2020, signing with F.C. Arouca in the third tier[15] and going on to achieve two promotions in as many years.[16]

On 2 June 2022, aged 33, Moreira renewed his link at the Estádio Municipal de Arouca until 2024.[17]

International career

[edit]

Moreira won 39 caps for Portugal across all youth levels. His under-21 bow took place on 11 July 2009, in a 1–0 loss against Cape Verde in the Lusofonia Games.[18][19]
