Club career
Born to Portuguese parents in Grenoble, France, Moura started playing football already in Portugal, with lowly AD Fafe, helping it achieve promotion to the third division in 2010. During his spell with the club, he majored in sociology at the University of Minho.[1]
In the summer of 2013, Moura signed for C.D. Santa Clara.[2] He made his debut as a professional on 11 August, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–1 home loss against G.D. Chaves for the Segunda Liga.[3] After impressive displays for the Azores side during the month of October, he was awarded with the Young Player of the Month.[4]
Moura continued competing in the second level in the following years, representing in quick succession Chaves, S.C. Covilhã and Académica de Coimbra.[5]
