Frédéric Ferreira Maciel (born 15 March 1994) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a winger for Liga I club Oțelul Galați.
Club career
[edit]Born in Grenoble, France of Portuguese descent, Maciel joined FC Porto's academy at the age of 16.[2] He made his senior debut with the reserves, going on to spend several seasons in the Segunda Liga;[3] in 2014–15, he scored a squad-best 13 goals in 43 games to help to a 13th-place finish.[4]
On 13 July 2015, Maciel signed a three-year deal with Royal Mouscron-Péruwelz which was to be initially a one-year loan with option to buy.[5][6] He was sparingly used during the campaign, with the side narrowly avoiding relegation from the Belgian Pro League.
Maciel returned to his country of adoption in summer 2016, agreeing to a two-year contract at Moreirense FC.[7] His Primeira Liga debut occurred on 29 October, when he came on as a 62nd-minute substitute for Daniel Podence in a 2–1 away win against C.D. Tondela.[8] In the final game of the season, he scored his only league goal in a 3–1 home victory over former club Porto.[9] Though he was not involved in the final at all, he played his part in their conquest of the Taça da Liga by scoring the only goal of the second-round defeat of G.D. Estoril-Praia at the Parque de Jogos Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas.[10] On 19 November 2017, in the fourth round of the Taça de Portugal, he added two more in a 5–2 win over F.C. Felgueiras 1932 at the same venue.[11]
On 10 January 2018, Maciel moved across the second division to Gil Vicente F.C. on a 21⁄2-year deal.[12] He made ten starts as the team from Barcelos suffered relegation, and scored in a 2–1 loss at C.D. Santa Clara on 25 February;[13] injury cost him the entire 2018–19, and new manager Vítor Oliveira informed him that he was not in his plans for the club now restored to the top flight.[14]
On 2 September 2019, free agent Maciel joined Varzim S.C. on a one-year contract.[15] He subsequently represented Lusitânia FC (third tier) and S.C.U. Torreense (second and third).[16][17][18]
Maciel signed a one-year deal with ASC Oțelul Galați of the Romanian Liga I in July 2023.[19] The following February, he agreed to an extension until June 2025.[20]
