João Miguel Macedo Silva (born 7 April 1995) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Vitória S.C. as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Born in Guimarães, Silva joined the academy of local Vitória S.C. at the age of 18. He started playing as a senior with their reserves but, at the age of just 20, was promoted to the first team by manager Sérgio Conceição. His first match in the Primeira Liga occurred on 28 November 2015 in a 2–1 away win against Boavista FC, and he finished the season with a further 23 appearances as his team finished in tenth position.

In the following years, Silva constantly battled for first-choice status with Brazilian Douglas.

International career

Silva won the first of his two caps for Portugal at under-21 level on 6 October 2016, in a 3–3 away draw to Hungary for the 2017 UEFA European Championship qualifiers.
