Club Career

Meira was born in Ajaccio, France to a Portuguese father, and emigrated to Portugal at the age of 9. He started playing football in the latter country with Grupo Recreativo Amigos da Paz, finishing his development at Sporting CP after signing in 2009.

On 16 December 2013, Meira made his professional debut with the latter club's B team, appearing in a 2–0 home win against S.C. Braga B for the Segunda Liga. The following 31 August he signed with AEL Limassol from Cyprus, showing resentment towards his former employer for treatment he received in a farewell message. In the following transfer window, he returned to Portugal and joined Atletico Clube de Portugal, going on to spend one and a half seasons in the second tier with the team.

Meira moved to Boavista F.C. on 2 June 2016 on a three-year contract. His first Primeira Liga appearance took place on 18 September of the same year, in a 1–2 home loss to C.D. Feirense.

After one year out of football, Meira competed in the Moldovan National Division with FC Zimbru Chișinau. Ahead of the 2019–20 campaign, he joined SCM Gloria Buzau of Romania's Liga II, but was one of several players released by manager Ilie Stan at the halfway point.

Remaining in Eastern Europe, Meira signed with Lori FC for the rest of the Armenian Premier League season on 7 February 2020. On 25 January 2021, he agreed to a two-year deal at FC Petrocub Hincești from Amora FC.
