Club career

edit

After more than one decade in the youth academy of Boavista F.C. in his hometown of Porto, Oliveira moved to neighbours FC Porto at the age of 18, where he was largely unsuccessful, going on to serve loans the following two and a half years, the first one being at Académica de Coimbra in January 2003.[2] In the 2005–06 season he signed a permanent contract with Vitória F.C. of Primeira Liga, having played there the previous year on loan.[3]

In the summer of 2006, Oliveira left for Romania's CFR Cluj along with a handful of Portuguese players.[4][5] In his first year he was an important first-team member as the team finished third in Liga I and qualified for the UEFA Cup,[6] but he was deemed surplus to requirements in the following campaign, being loaned to fellow top-division club FC UTA Arad.[7]

Oliveira moved countries again in 2008–09, joining Modena FC.[8] The following summer, remaining in Italy, he signed with modest AC Arezzo (third tier) on a free transfer.[9]
