[edit] Career
Teixeira started his career with FC Felgueiras in the Portuguese Third Division. After good showings with this club, he sealed a deal with Ligue 2 club FC Istres, continuing to move up the following season, leaving for Paris SG where he and Ronaldinho were teammates in Ligue 1 side. He would eventually leave to Portugal, his "other nation", joining Vítor Pontes's União Leiria, playing alongside Hugo Almeida and Luis Filipe. After an impressive season he left again for Paris and the same team, now with three Portuguese players: Pedro Pauleta, Hugo Leal and himself. Another move to Portugal followed, as he left for Académica de Coimbra to better his chances for playing with Portugal; he posted two respectable seasons.
[edit] West Bromwich Albion
Teixeira completed a move to West Bromwich Albion on 17 July 2007 for a fee of £600,000, signing a three-year contract.[1] He made his pre-season debut one week later against Northampton Town, scoring twice.[2] His competitive debut for Albion came in a 2–1 defeat away at Burnley on the opening day of the 2007–08 season.[3] He scored his first goal for the club in a 2–0 home win over Barnsley on 1 September, 2007.[4] His performances in midfield for Albion during September earned him a place on the shortlist for Championship Player of the Month, although the award went to Watford's Darius Henderson.[5]
Teixeira was stretchered off after 18 minutes of Albions 3–0 home win against Plymouth Argyle, when he landed awkwardly following a clash with Gary Sawyer.[6] Initial scans on the Portuguese player's knee suggest that he has suffered cruciate ligament damage and is "likely to miss the rest of the [2007–08] season".[7]
