In the summer of 2013, Moura signed for C.D. Santa Clara.[3] He made his debut as a professional on 11 August, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–1 home loss against G.D. Chaves in the Segunda Liga.[4] After impressive displays for the Azores side during the month of October, he was voted Young Player of the Month.[5]

Moura continued competing in the second tier the following years, representing Chaves, S.C. Covilhã, Académica de Coimbra[6] and U.D. Vilafranquense.[7]
