Club career

Sporting CP

Born in Espinho, Aveiro District, Moreira spent his entire youth career in Lisbon with Sporting CP.[2] He made his senior debut with the club's under-23 team, later appearing for the reserve one.[3]

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.[4]

Vizela

On 19 June 2021, Moreira signed a three-year contract with F.C. Vizela, with Sporting retaining 50% of the player's rights.[5] 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.[6] 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.[7]

Moreira scored for the first time in the top flight on 30 April 2022, in a 4–2 away loss against eventual champions FC Porto.[8]

Casa Pia

On 30 January 2024, Moreira joined fellow top-division side Casa Pia A.C. on a two-and-a-half-year deal.[9] On 29 December that year, he closed the 2–1 away win over S.C. Braga.[10]

On 25 January 2025, Moreira was one of three players on target as the hosts defeated S.L. Benfica 3–1.[11]

Vasco da Gama

Moreira joined CR Vasco da Gama of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A on 20 February 2025, for a 3.5 million fee.[12] On his debut on 5 March, he provided an assist in a 3–0 away defeat of Nova Iguaçu FC in the second round of the Copa do Brasil.[13] He scored in the following match, but in a 2–1 loss at CR Flamengo in the semi-finals of the Campeonato Carioca.[14]
