Pedro Miguel Santos Amador (born 18 December 1998) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Moreirense F.C. as a left-back.
Club career[edit]
Braga[edit]
Amador was born in Santa Iria de Azóia, Loures, Lisbon District. He played youth football for three clubs, including Sporting CP from ages 8 to 14.[2]
Amador started his senior career in the lower leagues, with S.U. 1º Dezembro. On 31 January 2018 he joined S.C. Braga, signing a three-and-a-half-year contract and being assigned to their reserves in the LigaPro.[3]
On 31 March 2018, Amador made his professional debut with Braga B, playing the entire 1–1 away draw against Varzim S.C. and being booked.[4] He scored his first goal in the second division on 19 January 2019, in a 3–1 home victory over F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[5]
Amador's maiden appearance in the Primeira Liga with the first team occurred on 23 February 2020, when he came on as a first-half substitute for the injured Nuno Sequeira in an eventual 3–1 home defeat of Vitória de Setúbal.[6][7] He made his first start on 6 March 2020 in another fixture at the Estádio Municipal de Braga that ended in a 3–1 win, now against Portimonense SC.[8]
Moreirense[edit]
On 14 August 2020, Amador signed a four-year contract with Moreirense F.C. of the same league.[9] He missed the vast majority of the season, due to a cruciate ligament injury to his left knee.[10]
