Pedro Miguel Ferreira Silva Torrão (born 12 March 1977) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a midfielder.
Football career
Born in Vila Franca de Xira, Lisbon District, Torrão made his professional debuts with S.C. Salgueiros in January 1998, after unsuccessfully emerging through local União Desportiva Vilafranquense's youth ranks and having a one 1/2-year spell with the feeder club of Sporting Clube de Portugal. In the following seasons he played in the two major divisions in Portuguese football, with relative impact: successively he represented C.F. União de Lamas, S.C. Campomaiorense, F.C. Alverca (which he helped promote from the second division in 2003), U.D. Leiria and S.C. Beira-Mar.
In late January 2007, at nearly 30, Torrão left the Aveiro side and joined AC Omonia, but only lasted there a few months, moving teams in the country in the summer, as he signed with Nea Salamis Famagusta FC.
After again failing to impress, he joined a third club in Cyprus, AEL Limassol, in the 2008 summer, where he firmly established as first-choice in the playmaker position, also rejoining former teammate – in Sporting's youth ranks, Alverca and Leiria – Miguel Vargas; also, he suffered a severe injury, which kept him out of the game until March 2010.
