Born in Guinea-Bissau, Vieira spent his youth career in Portugal, with Mem Martins F.C., G.D. Estoril Praia, S.C. Farense and S.C. Olhanense. He made his professional debut in his only game for the last of those teams, on 14 May 2011 in the last game of the Primeira Liga season, coming on as a last-minute substitute for Jean Paul Yontcha in a 2–2 home draw with Rio Ave FC. On 10 August 2011 he made his only appearance for the Guinea-Bissau national team, a 4–1 friendly win over Equatorial Guinea at the Estádio do Restelo in Lisbon. [1]

Vieira subsequently played in the third and fourth tiers of Portuguese football for several clubs. He also played at a similar level for Prescot Cables in England, Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa in Spain and AS Roccella in Italy. In August 2015 he played three games for Nelson – two in the league and a cup match. [2]

He was given an eight-week prison sentence suspended for a year, and fined £115 victim surcharge, £100 in compensation to Vieira and £85 in court costs. [9]
