In 1998, he transferred to RC Lens. He won the Coupe de la Ligue with the Les Sang et Or in 1999, scoring the winning goal in the final against Metz,[1] and got very close from winning the national championship in 2002. 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 Santos, scoring 15 goals between them in Ligue 1.
On 22 June 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 where, on 9 August, he scored a goal for his debut against Sochaux at the 89th minute to ensure an unexpected 2–1 away win for Grenoble's first Ligue 1 game for 43 years.
In August 2009 he transferred to US Boulogne. After a complicated knee injury, he retired from professional football in December 2010.
