Edgar Abreu

Abreu was born in Funchal, Madeira. A product of local C.D. Nacional's youth academy, he made his senior debut with third division club SC Mirandela on loan. Having returned to Nacional, Abreu first appeared in the Primeira Liga on 26 October 2014, coming on as a late substitute in the 1–0 home win against Académica de Coimbra. He scored his only goal in the competition on 9 November, but in a 1–2 loss to S.L. Benfica also at the Estádio da Madeira. Abreu was also loaned in the following two seasons, to U.D. Leiria and S.C. Olhanense (the first team competed in the third tier, the second in the Segunda Liga).
