Fábio Miguel Amendoeira Ervões (born 26 February 1987) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for F.C. Vizela on loan from Boavista F.C. as a central defender.

Club career

Born in Valpaços, Vila Real District, Ervões played youth football for four clubs, including FC Porto from ages 16–19. He alternated between the second and third divisions in his first years as a senior, starting out at S.C. Esmoriz.

Ervões made his debut as a professional on 21 September 2008, coming on as a late substitute to help S.C. Covilhã to a 2–1 away win against U.D. Oliveirense. In the 2012 summer he signed for fellow league club F.C. Penafiel: he was sent off in his first official appearance of the 2013–14 season, a 2–0 home success over Leixões S.C. for the domestic League Cup,^[1] but ended up contributing with 30 league matches and one goal as the team returned to the Primeira Liga after a lengthy absence.
