Career

OFI

On 2 August 2019, Superleague club OFI officially announced the acquisition of Figueiredo on a three-year deal for a fee of €100,000. [2] In 24 games in the 2019–20 season, he scored nine goals for OFI, with one of them being the winner against Lamia which secured their place in the championship playoffs.

On 4 July 2020, he completed an exquisite team effort and scored in a 2–2 home draw against PAOK. [3] He scored in the last game of the season, a 3–2 away defeat, against Panathinaikos, on 19 July 2020. [4]

Figueiredo, on 21 September 2020, completed his transfer in Al Wasl, signing a three-year contract with the Dubai based team, in a €1 million deal. [5]

Moves to Turkey

On 6 June 2022, Figueiredo moved to Gaziantep on a permanent basis after playing there on loan previously and signed a three-year contract.[6]

On 17 February 2023, following Gaziantep's withdrawal from the 2022–23 season on account of the 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquake, Figueiredo signed for İstanbul Başakşehir on a three-and-a-half year deal.[7]
