João Artur Rosa Alves (born 18 August 1980 in Chaves) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for S.C. Freamunde as a central midfielder.
Club career
Alves started his professional career at hometown club G.D. Chaves, making his debut in the first division on 11 November 1998 in a 1–2 home loss against U.D. Leiria after coming in as a substitute in the 63rd minute. He appeared in a further nine league matches during that season, with the northerners eventually being relegated after ranking 17th.
In 2004–05, after five additional campaigns with Chaves in the second level, Alves joined S.C. Braga, making his league debuts on 14 November 2004 in a 0–0 draw at Leiria. After some excellent performances that helped the Minho side finish fourth, he moved to national powerhouse Sporting Clube de Portugal.
After having appeared just twice for Sporting in 2006–07, Alves signed a three-year contract with Vitória de Guimarães in July 2007, with Sporting keeping 50% of the player's rights and Braga and Guimarães sharing the other half. In his first year he only missed one league contest, as Vitória came straight from the second division into a final third place.
Alves played in an average of 23 league games in the following three seasons, sharing team captain duties with veteran Flávio Meireles.
International career
On 17 August 2005 Alves made his debut for the Portuguese national team, making an assist for an Hélder Postiga goal in a 2–0 friendly win over Egypt.[1]
