Michel Souza da Silva (born 22 August 1986), known simply as Michel, is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a striker.

Club career

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Michel moved to Portugal initially as a futsal player, but he switched to association football shortly after because of his physical strength and powerful shots.[1] He started his career with F.C. Penafiel in the third division, scoring 13 goals in 32 games in his first season, which ended in promotion.

In mid-July 2011, after two more years with the club in the Segunda Liga, Michel signed for F.C. Paços de Ferreira in the Primeira Liga.[2] During his only season, he ranked as team top scorer as they retained their division status, notably netting against Sporting CP (twice) and S.L. Benfica in two defeats.[3][4]

On 31 May 2012, Michel moved to Benfica alongside Paços teammate Luisinho.[5] On 31 August, however, he joined fellow league side S.C. Braga on loan, in a deal that saw Lima go in the opposite direction.[6][7]

In late January 2013, Braga terminated Michel's loan early and he returned to Benfica.[8] In August he went on loan again, now to Qatar's Al-Wakrah SC.[9]

Michel returned to Portugal on 1 September 2014,[10] and the following 2 February he rejoined Penafiel, who now competed in the top level.[11][12]
