Hugo Rogério Ferreira Monteiro (born 9 May 1985 in Porto; Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈuɡu mõˈtɐjɾu]) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Leixões S.C. as a midfielder.

Football career

A product of local Boavista FC's youth system, Monteiro made his first-team debut during 2003–04, playing six minutes in a 2–1 home win against C.S. Marítimo for his only top division appearance of the season. He split the following campaign between two teams, U.S.C. Paredes and C.F. União de Lamas, both in the third level and in both cases on loan.

Upon his return to the Porto-based club, Monteiro made only a further 26 league appearances for the Axadrezados (chequereds) in three seasons combined, 16 of those coming in 2006–07. In the 2008 summer, after Boavista's top flight relegation, he was sold to another side in division two, Gil Vicente FC.

In 2010, after one season in the third division with Gondomar SC, Monteiro returned to the second level with F.C. Arouca, appearing in just seven games in his first year as the team managed to retain its newly acquired status.
