Hélder José Castro Ferreira (born 5 April 1997) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Armenian club Noah as a right winger.
Ferreira was born in Fafe, Braga District. He spent the better part of his first four seasons as a senior with Vitória de Guimarães' reserves in the LigaPro, making his league debut on 25 November 2015 in a 0–1 home loss against C.D. Feirense when he was still a junior.[2] He scored his first goal on 24 April 2016 to close a 3–3 draw at S.L. Benfica B,[3] adding a brace the following month in the 3–1 home victory over FC Porto B.[4]
Ferreira totalled 25 first-team appearances during his spell at the Estádio D. Afonso Henriques. He scored his only goal on 11 December 2017, in a 1–0 Primeira Liga home defeat of Feirense.[5]
On 27 June 2019, Ferreira signed a three-year contract with newly-promoted F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[6] He netted four times from 33 appearances in the 2020–21 campaign, as the club finished fifth and qualified for the UEFA Europa Conference League.[7]
On 21 July 2022, Ferreira joined Anorthosis Famagusta FC of the Cypriot First Division on a two-year deal.[8]
Ferreira represented Portugal at the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup in South Korea,[9] scoring against Zambia (2–1 group-stage loss) in an eventual quarter-final exit.[10] [11]
