Club career
editEarly career
editBorn in Ribeirão, Vila Nova de Famalicão, Moreira was a G.D. Ribeirão youth graduate. He made his senior debut for the club on 29 December 2013, coming on as a substitute for the injured Paulo Cunha in a 2–3 home loss against AD Oliveirense in the Campeonato Nacional de Seniores.
Atlético Madrid
editIn August 2014, after impressing with the Portugal under-19 team at the 2014 UEFA European Championship, Moreira was sold to Jorge Mendes' GestiFute and signed a six-year deal with Atlético Madrid.[2] He was immediately loaned to Primeira Liga side Moreirense FC,[3] making his professional debut on 28 December 2014 by starting in a 2–0 home victory over F.C. Arouca in the group stage of the Taça da Liga.[4]
Moreira joined C.F. União on 1 July 2015, in a season-long loan.[5] He made his debut in the top flight on 16 August, in a 2–1 local derby defeat of C.S. Marítimo.[6]
On 3 August 2016, Moreira was loaned to fellow top-tier club C.F. Os Belenenses.[7] His loan was cancelled 14 days later, after the injury of Miguel Ángel Moyá.[8] He only managed one bench appearance during his brief stint with the former, in a league game at Vitória de Setúbal.[9]
Moreira split 2017–18 between S.C. Braga[10] and Belenenses,[11] only managing to appear for the latter side. On 1 August 2018, he signed for English Championship club Aston Villa on loan for the campaign,[12] making his competitive debut 13 days later away against Yeovil Town in the first round of the EFL Cup and saving a penalty from Alex Fisher in a 1–0 win.[13]
On 23 January 2019, Moreira returned to Atlético Madrid when his spell at Villa Park was prematurely ended without one single league appearance to his credit.[14] The same day, still owned by the Spaniards, he moved to C.D. Feirense for five months.[15]
B-SAD
editOn 17 July 2019, after five years linked to Atlético without any appearances for them, Moreira terminated his contract and returned to Belenenses, signing for the renamed B-SAD on a permanent three-year deal.[16][17] During his tenure, he played second-fiddle first to Hervé Koffi[18][19] and then Stanislav Kritsyuk.[20]
Grasshoppers
editMoreira agreed to a two-year contract at Grasshopper Club Zürich on 22 June 2021.[21] He was voted as his team's best player for the 2022–23 Swiss Super League by club fans,[22] also being awarded Best Goalkeeper by online sports site sport.ch.[23]
In June 2023, Moreira left the Letzigrund following the expiration of his link.[24]
Al-Raed
editOn 10 August 2023, Moreira joined Saudi Pro League club Al-Raed FC.[25]
International career
editMoreira represented Portugal at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He played all matches in New Zealand, helping his country to reach the quarter-finals.[26][27]
Moreira's only cap for the under-21s occurred on 11 October 2016, in a 7–1 friendly rout of Liechtenstein.[28]
