João Amorim (footballer, born February 1992)


João Carlos Nogueira Amorim is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for C.D. Feirense.

Club career

Born in Espinho, Amorim joined FC Porto's youth system in 2003, aged 11. He was not given a professional contract after he turned 19, so he signed for Gondomar S.C. in the third division, where he made his senior debut.
In February 2012, Amorim joined S.L. Benfica, with the deal being made effective in July. He was immediately loaned to Segunda Liga team C.D. Trofense, a move repeated in the following season even though he was eventually called back to Benfica B in December 2013.
On 27 January 2015, Benfica announced that Amorim had signed with second level club C.D. Aves. Eighteen months later, having not played regularly, he dropped down a tier to U.D. Oliveirense. In his first season in Oliveira de Azeméis, he featured regularly as they won promotion as runners-up to Real SC, and he kept his place the following year in the second division.
After playing the first three matches of the 2018–19 campaign, Amorim cancelled his contract in August and found a new team in October in the shape of Varzim S.C. on a two-year deal. After playing most of the remaining games as the side just avoided relegation, he moved abroad for the first time in June 2019 to FC Arda Kardzhali, newcomers in the First Professional Football League.
