Career

Born in Brasília, Central-West Region, Vieira started his career in England with Wigan Athletic in 2003 but failed to get into the first team and went out on loan to Northampton Town and Carlisle United. When he was on loan at Carlisle Vieira became a cult figure when he scored some important goals, most notably when he scored a hat-trick away at Aldershot Town in a 5–0 win.

He left Wigan in 2005 and was set to join Carlisle on a permanent basis, after playing an important part in their return to The Football League, but passport problems prevented him from joining.

After this, Vieira took a year out of football before he signed for Barnet in 2006. He spent one year at Underhill, being released in May 2007.

After his release by Barnet, Vieira signed for Crawley Town in June, becoming one of Steve Evans' first signings for the club.^[1]

On 6 March 2008, Vieira was allowed to join Cambridge United on loan for the remainder of the 2007–08 season.

He was signed by Wycombe Wanderers on a one-year deal on 30 June,^[2] before being released at the end of the season on 6 May 2009.

Vieira joined Conference side Ebbsfleet United on 7 August on a one-year contract. He won the January Conference National Player of the Month award, after scoring five goals in five games.^[3] He also won the club's Supporters Player of the Year award for the 2009–10 season,^{[citation needed]} which he finished with 42 appearances and 16 goals.^[4]

Vieira arrived in New Zealand in July 2010 to trial with the Wellington-based A-League side the Wellington Phoenix ahead of the 2010-11 A-League season.^[5]

On 22 July 2010 Vieira signed for newly promoted Conference National team Fleetwood Town, scoring on league debut at Rushden & Diamonds.^[1] In his first season there he helped the club reach the play-offs and was their highest goalscorer with 22 league goals.
