André Campos Moreira (born 2 December 1995) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Belenenses SAD.

Club career

Born in Ribeirão, Vila Nova de Famalicão, Moreira was a G.D. Ribeirão youth graduate. He made his senior debut for the club on 29 December 2013, coming on as a substitute for injured Paulo Cunha in a 2–3 home loss against A.D. Oliveirense for the Campeonato Nacional de Seniores.

In August 2014, after impressing with the Portuguese under-19 team at the 2014 UEFA European Championship, Moreira was sold to Jorge Mendes' GestiFute and signed a six-year deal with Atlético Madrid.[1] He was immediately loaned to Primeira Liga side Moreirense FC,[2] making his professional debut on 28 December 2014 by starting in a 2–0 home win against F.C. Arouca for the season's Taça da Liga.[3]

On 1 July 2015, Moreira joined C.F. União in a season-long loan.[4] He made his debut in the top level on 16 August, in a 2–1 local derby triumph over C.S. Marítimo.[5]

On 3 August 2016, Moreira was loaned to fellow league club C.F. Os Belenenses.[6] His loan was cancelled 14 days later, after the injury of Miguel Ángel Moyá;[7] he only managed one bench appearance during his very brief spell with the former, in a league game at Vitória de Setúbal.[8]

Moreira split 2017–18 between S.C. Braga[9] and Belenenses,[10] only managing to appear for the latter side. On 1 August 2018, he signed for English Championship club Aston Villa on loan for the season,[11] making his competitive debut 13 days later at Yeovil Town for the first round of the EFL Cup and saving a penalty from Alex Fisher in a 1–0 win.[12]

On 23 January 2019, Moreira returned to Atlético Madrid when his spell at Villa Park was prematurely ended without one single league appearance to his credit.[13] The same day, still owned by the Spaniards, he joined C.D. Feirense for five months.[14]

On 17 July 2019, after five years linked to Atlético without any appearances for them, Moreira terminated his contract and signed for Belenenses SAD on a permanent three-year deal.[15][16]

International career

Moreira represented Portugal at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He played all matches in New Zealand, helping his country reach the quarter-finals.[17]

Moreira's first and only cap for the under-21s occurred on 11 October 2016, in a 7–1 friendly rout of Liechtenstein.[18]
