Thierry Rua Moutinho (born 26 February 1991) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Romanian club CFR Cluj as a midfielder.

Club career

Born in Geneva, Switzerland to Portuguese parents, Moutinho started playing football with Étoile Carouge FC. In 2009 he signed with Servette FC, completing his formation with the club and making his first senior appearances in the Swiss Challenge League.

In 2010–11, Moutinho played in five league games (one start) as Servette promoted to the Super League. For the following season he was loaned to CD Badajoz in Spain but, after the sale of Matías Vitkieviez to BSC Young Boys in January 2012, he was recalled and assigned the #7 squad number, going on to feature in several matches towards the end of the campaign as the Geneva side finished in fourth place.

Other than his spell with Badajoz, Moutinho spent several years competing in Spanish football, helping Albacete Balompié[1] promote to Segunda División in 2014. He made his professional league debut in that country with that team, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–1 home loss against CD Numancia on 21 September 2014.[2]

International career

Moutinho was part of the Portugal under-20 squad at the 2011 Toulon Tournament. He earned the first of his two caps for his country on 3 June, starting in a 1–1 group stage draw to Italy.[3]
