Daniel Moreira

Daniel Moreira (born August 8, 1977 in Maubeuge) is a France Football (soccer) who plays as a striker.

He started his career with Valenciennes FC before moving to En Avant Guingamp. He finished as the runners-up of the 1997 Coupe de France playing for them.

In 1998, he transferred to RC Lens. He won the Coupe de la Ligue with the Les Sang et Or in 1999. After spending six years at Stade Félix Bollaert, he was rewarded with a move to Toulouse FC. In the 2005-06 season, he formed a formidable attacking partnership alongside Brazilian-born Tunisian forward Francileudo Silva dos Santos, scoring 15 goals between them in Ligue 1.

On June 22, 2006, Moreira agreed to join Stade Rennais for a fee of €5,500,000.

Moreira made a less than impressive season at his new club, not scoring after 29 appearances (17 of them as starter). In 2008, he was then loaned to recently promoted Grenoble Foot 38 where, on August 9, he scored a goal for his debut against FC Sochaux-Montbéliard at the 89th minute to ensure an unexpected 2-1 away win for Grenoble's first Ligue 1 game for 43 years.

Moreira has earned 3 caps in his career, making his debut for the France national football team on November 20 2002 in a 3-0 win against Serbia and Montenegro national football team.
