Michel Souza da Silva (born August 22, 1986), known simply as Michel, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Portuguese club Penafiel.

Club career

Michel moved to Portugal initially as a futsal player, but he switched to association football shortly after because of his physical strength and powerful shots.[1] He started his career with Penafiel in the third division, scoring 13 goals in 32 games in his first season, which ended in promotion.

In mid-July 2011, after two more years with the club in the second level, Michel joined Paços de Ferreira in the top flight.[2] During his only season with the club, he ranked as team top scorer as it retained its division status, notably netting against Sporting (twice) and Benfica in two defeats.[3][4]

On May 31, 2012 Michel moved to Benfica, alongside Paços teammate Luisinho.[5] On August 31, however, he joined fellow league club Braga on loan, in a deal that saw Lima go in the opposite direction.[6][7]

In January 2013 Braga terminated Michel's loan early, and he returned to Benfica.[8] In August he went on loan again, now to Qatar's Al-Wakrah.[9] On 1 September 2014, Michel returned to Portugal,[10] and has not played since.

On February 2, 2015, without playing since May 2014, Michel returned to Penafiel of Primeira Liga.[11][12]
