Hélio Roque

Hélio José Lopes Roque (born 20 July 1985) is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

Born in Huambo, Angola to Portuguese settlers, Roque returned to his parents' country and started his football career at Atlético Clube Arrentela and Amora FC, moving at age 17 to S.L.

[2] Roque went on loan twice in the following months: in January 2006 he signed for top-flight Vitória Setúbal,[4] and spent the entire 2006–07 season with Lisbon neighbours C.D.

After a rather poor debut campaign, his form improved and he began appearing regularly in the starting XI;[6] in spite of being naturally right-footed, he featured mainly on the left wing.

In the 2011 off-season, due to the fact AEL had too many foreign players, he was loaned to fellow First Division side Nea Salamis Famagusta FC, and the move was made permanent for the 2012–13 season.
