Luís Miguel Vieira Silva (born 8 October 1990), known as Vieira, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a central defender.

Club career

Born in

Segunda Liga club C.D. Aves, making his professional debut on 18 August in a 1–1 away draw against U.D. Oliveirense where he played the full 90 minutes.[2] In his second season, he scored a career-best four goals (in 40 matches) to help his team to the 18th position, still above the relegation zone.[3]

In June 2015, Vieira moved to the Primeira Liga after signing a two-year contract with F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[4] His maiden appearance in the competition took place on 30 August of that year, when he came on as a 42nd-minute substitute in a 1–1 home draw with F.C. Arouca.[5]

Vieira scored four times again in the 2017–18 campaign.[3] One of those goals came on 11 March 2018 as the hosts defeated eventual champions FC Porto 1–0,[6] being nonetheless relegated as second-bottom.[7]

On 17 July 2018, Vieira moved abroad for the first time in his career after agreeing to a three-year deal with Segunda División side CD Lugo.[8] On 30 July of the following year, however, he was transferred to İstanbul Başakşehir F.K. of the Turkish Süper Lig.[9]

Vieira spent the next two seasons on loan, first with Wolfsberger AC in the Austrian Football Bundesliga[10] then Waasland-Beveren in the Belgian Pro League.[11] In February 2022, after only six competitive appearances at the Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium, the 31-year-old left by mutual consent.[12]
