Fábio Miguel Lourenço Ferreira (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈfaˈbio fɨˈʁɐjɾɐ]; born 3 May 1989) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Malaysian club PKNS F.C. mainly as a right winger but also as an attacking midfielder.
Registered at Sporting and Chelsea as a teenager, he only played lower-league football in both England and Portugal. In 2012, he moved to Australia, where he represented Adelaide United and Central Coast Mariners.
Born in Barreiro, Setúbal, Ferreira joined Sporting Club de Portugal's youth system in 2002, aged 13. On 6 January 2005, it was reported that the Lisbon club had made a complaint to FIFA regarding him and two other players who had trained with Chelsea without any authorisation. However, in the summer, he still made a move to the English club.
In the following season, Ferreira became a professional and signed a contract with the Blues. During 2007–08 he made 12 appearances for the reserves, scoring eight goals.
On 20 January 2009, Ferreira was loaned out to League One side Oldham Athletic on a one-month loan deal, before it was extended for another month on 23 March. The day after the loan extension, he made his professional debut in a 1–1 draw against Cheltenham Town at Whaddon Road, coming on as a substitute for Deane Smalley in the 66th minute: a few minutes after coming onto the pitch he nearly scored, putting a header wide of the goal.
