Early and personal life

Club career

Early career

[edit]

Carreiro began his career in his native Winnipeg, playing with Oriole SC, FC Northwest, and the World Soccer Academy.[3] He also played for the youth teams of Toronto FC initially with the academy's junior team in the Canadian Soccer League's second division in 2011.[4][5][6] In 2012, he left Toronto's academy and went abroad to join the youth system of Queens Park Rangers.[6]

Dundee

[edit]

Carreiro signed for Scottish club Dundee in August 2014.[7][8] in September 2014 he was praised by Dundee youth coach Eddie Johnson.[9] Later that month he joined Arbroath on loan.[10] Dundee manager Paul Hartley stated that "If he does well enough [at Arbroath] he has a chance [at Dundee] later in the season."[11] Carreiro made his Dundee debut against rivals Dundee United on 1 January 2015, appearing as a 71st-minute substitute in the Dundee derby.[12] On 2 February 2015, Carreiro returned to Arbroath for a second loan spell.[13][14] Carreiro left Dundee via mutual consent on 22 December 2015.[15]

Woodbridge Strikers

[edit]

Carreiro joined League1 Ontario side Woodbridge Strikers ahead of the 2016 season.[16] Carreiro would be named the League1 Ontario MVP for the 2017 League1 Ontario season.[17]

York University

[edit]

While playing in League1 Ontario, Carreiro attended York University, where he played varsity soccer for the York Lions. In 2017, he made 17 appearances for York, scoring nine goals.[18] In 2018, he made 10 appearances.[19]

Vaughan Azzurri

[edit]

In 2018, Carreiro appeared in the final of the League1 Ontario playoffs for Vaughan Azzurri against his former club, Woodbridge Strikers.[20]

Valour FC

[edit]

In November 2018, Carreiro returned to Winnipeg to sign for Valour FC.[3] He made his debut and scored his first goal for the club on 1 May against Pacific FC.[21] On 16 January 2020 Valour announced Carreiro would be returning to the club for the 2020 CPL season.[22] On 19 October 2020, Carreiro was released by Valour so he could pursue a coaching opportunity in the Toronto area that would potentially also allow him to continue playing in the Canadian Premier League.[23]

Later career

[edit]

He announced his retirement from professional soccer in February 2021, at the age of 26.[24] He returned to the semi-professional League1 Ontario, re-joining former club Vaughan Azzurri, as a coach[25] and player.[26][27]
