Pedro Manuel da Silva Moreira (born 15 March 1989) is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.
Moreira was born in Lousada, Porto District. He made his Primeira Liga debut in 2007–08 with Boavista FC, his first match in the competition being on 16 December 2007 in a 2–0 home win against Associação Naval 1º de Maio where he came on as a last-minute substitute, also being booked; [2] in spite of a 9th-place finish, the season ended in relegation due to the Apito Dourado affair. [3]
In summer 2008, Moreira signed for FC Porto as a 19-year-old. He spent the next four years on loan in both the top division and the Segunda Liga, to Boavista, Gil Vicente F.C. (twice) [4] [5] and Portimonense SC. [6]
From 2012 to 2014, Moreira competed with Porto's reserves in the second tier, where he acted as captain. [7] In the latter campaign, he helped his team to finish second by contributing 38 appearances and four goals, [8] but they were ineligible for promotion. [9]
Moreira was loaned to fellow top-flight club Rio Ave F.C. in June 2014. [10] He totalled 41 games with four goals for the season, [11] including seven to help his team to reach the group phase of the UEFA Europa League. [12]
On 22 July 2015, Moreira joined Rio Ave on a permanent three-year contract. [13]
Moreira agreed to a deal at FC Hermannstadt of the Romanian Liga I on 18 October 2018. [14] He returned to Portugal in February 2020, signing with F.C. Arouca in the third tier [15] and going on to achieve two promotions in as many years. [16]
On 2 June 2022, aged 33, Moreira renewed his link at the Estádio Municipal de Arouca until 2024. [17] He retired in June 2025, being immediately appointed his last club's team manager. [18]
Moreira won 39 caps for Portugal across all youth levels. His under-21 bow took place on 11 July 2009, in a 1–0 loss against Cape Verde in the Lusofonia Games. [19] [20]
