Rui Filipe Caetano Moura (born 1 March 1993), known as Carraça, is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Boavista F.C. as a midfielder.

Football career

Born in Folgosa, Maia, Carraça finished his development at Boavista F.C. after joining at the age of 16. His first two seasons as a senior with the club were spent in the third division.

From 2014 to 2016, Carraça competed in the Segunda Liga on loan, respectively with C.D. Tondela and C.D. Santa Clara. While with the former team, his first professional game occurred on 31 August 2014 when he played the second half of a 1–1 home draw against Académico de Viseu FC; he contributed with eight starts and 809 minutes of action, in an eventual first-ever promotion to the Primeira Liga.

Returned to the Estádio do Bessa for the 2016–17 campaign, Carraça made his debut in the competition on 14 August 2016, playing the entire 2–0 home win over F.C. Arouca. His first league goal arrived on 21 October, awarding the visitors one point with a 1–1 draw at C.S. Marítimo.

A key played under both Erwin Sánchez and his successor Miguel Leal, Carraça renewed his contract with Boavista on 28 December 2016, with the new link running until June 2018.
