Hélio José Lopes Roque (born 20 July 1985) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Nea Salamina in Cyprus, as a midfielder.

Club career

Born in Huambo, Angola, to Portuguese settlers, Roque returned to his country and started his football career at Amora FC, moving at age 17 to Benfica and having no impact whatsoever with its first team.

In the following months, two loans ensued: in January 2006 he made his first division debuts with Vitória de Setúbal, and spent the entire 2006–07 season with Lisbon neighbours C.D. Olivais e Moscavide in level two, being released in the ensuing summer.

Subsequently, Roque joined Cypriot team AEL Limassol. After a rather poor first season with the club, his form improved and he began appearing regularly in its starting XI; in spite of being naturally right-footed, he featured mainly on the left wing.

In 2009–10, an injury meant Roque only resumed training in late January 2010. In the 2011 summer, due to the fact AEL had too many foreign players, he was loaned to fellow First Division outfit Nea Salamis Famagusta FC, and the move was made permanent for the 2012–13 campaign.
