CS Santa Clara have been busy in the transfer market ahead of their second campaign in the Portuguese I. Liga next season.
Successful season
The Azores club were promoted as champions last season and preserved their top-flight status this time around with a goalless draw against SC Beira Mar last weekend. Holding midfield player Luís Vouzela has agreed a four-year contract to move from UD Leiria, while SC Salgueiros captain João Pedro has signed up for three seasons at the São Miguel stadium.
Four-year contract
Vitória SC striker Fabrizio Ceara has also been snapped up on a four-year contract. The Brazilian has scored four goals in 27 appearances this season.
Free agents
Santa Clara are also set to make two other signings from CF Os Belenenses, Lito Vidigal, an Angolan international, and left-back Pedro Henriques. Both are free agents at the end of the season and look poised to sign three-year contracts.
