Club career

Born to Portuguese parents in Grenoble, France, Moura started playing football 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.[2]

In the summer of 2013, Moura signed for C.D. Santa Clara.[3] 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 in the Segunda Liga.[4] After impressive displays for the Azores side during the month of October, he was voted Young Player of the Month.[5]

Moura continued competing in the second tier the following years, representing Chaves, S.C. Covilhã, Académica de Coimbra[6] and U.D. Vilafranquense.[7]
