About the player
Miguel Pires started out at Cova da Piedade, Olímpico do Montijo and Pinhalnovense, then left Portugal altogether, turning out for Stumbras in Lithuania, for a string of Cypriot clubs, and for Sileks in North Macedonia.
In September 2025 he joined União de Leiria on loan, with an option to buy attached; the move was the club's last signing before that transfer window closed, and he went on to make nine appearances for the side in the 2025/26 season.
A right-footed central midfielder, Pires has not been capped by Portugal at senior or youth level. In August 2026 he left Santa Clara for Vizela, signing a contract that runs to 2029.
