Vítor Emanuel Cruz da Silva (born 7 January 1984), known simply as Vítor, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Spanish club CF Reus Deportiu as a central midfielder.
Football career
Born in Penafiel, Vítor joined local F.C. Penafiel's youth system in 1993 at the age of nine. He alternated between the second and third divisions in his first eight years as a senior, also representing A.D. Lousada, U.S.C. Paredes and C.F. União.
Vítor reached the Primeira Liga in the 2011–12 season, signing for F.C. Paços de Ferreira. He made his debut in the competition on 14 August, starting in a 1–2 away loss against Vitória de Setúbal.
Vítor contributed with 29 games – 28 starts – and five goals in 2012–13, helping Paços to a best-ever third position with the subsequent qualification for the UEFA Champions League. Midway through the campaign he was linked with a move to S.L. Benfica, with Jorge Mendes reportedly working to secure a transfer.[1]
Also in 2013 but in the off-season, Vítor joined another Lisbon side, Sporting Clube de Portugal.[2] On 26 August of the following year he signed with CF Reus Deportiu, moving to the Spaniards alongside teammate Rúben Semedo who signed on loan.[3][4]
