Club career

Sporting CP

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

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, but in a 4–2 away loss against eventual champions FC Porto.[7]
