Club career
Servette
Born in Geneva, Switzerland to Portuguese parents, Moutinho started playing football with Étoile Carouge FC. In 2009 he signed with Servette FC, completing his training with the club and making his first senior appearances in the Swiss Challenge League.
In 2010–11, Moutinho played five league games (one start) as Servette won promotion to the Super League. For the following season he was loaned to CD Badajoz in Spain[2] but, after the sale of Matías Vitkieviez to BSC Young Boys in January 2012, he was recalled and assigned the #7 squad number,[3] going on to feature in several matches towards the end of the campaign as the team from the Stade de Genève finished in fourth place.
Spain
Other than his spell with Badajoz, Moutinho spent several years competing in Spanish football, helping Albacete Balompié[4] promote to Segunda División in 2014. He made his professional league debut in that country with that team, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–1 home loss against CD Numancia on 21 September 2014.[5]
On 7 July 2015, Moutinho signed with RCD Mallorca on a two-year contract.[6] He scored four goals in his second season,[7][8][9] but the Balearic Islands club returned to Segunda División B after 36 years;[10] during his spell, he was also loaned to CD Tenerife of the same league for five months.[11]
Later career
Moutinho started the 2017–18 campaign in the Romanian Liga I, with CFR Cluj.[12] On 27 December 2017, however, he returned to Spain and joined Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa on loan.[13]
On 15 July 2019, Moutinho returned to the Romanian top flight and signed a contract with FCSB.[14] The following transfer window, after 13 competitive appearances, the free agent returned to the Spanish third tier after agreeing to a six-month deal at Córdoba CF.[15]
Moutinho moved to Levadiakos F.C. of Super League Greece 2 in August 2021.[16] He won promotion as champions in his first season.[17]
In August 2023, Moutinho returned to the Greek second division, with Athens Kallithea FC.[18]
International career
Moutinho was part of the Portugal under-20 squad at the 2011 Toulon Tournament. He earned the first of his two caps for his country on 3 June, starting in a 1–1 group stage draw with Italy.[19]
