Miguel Alexandre Jesus Rosa (born 13 January 1989) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for C.F. Os Belenenses as a midfielder.

Club career

Benfica

A product of hometown's S.L. Benfica's youth system, Lisbon-born Rosa joined the club at the age of nine. In a 2006–07 end-of-season friendly with AEK Athens FC, courtesy of manager Fernando Santos, he made his debut with the first team, replacing legendary Rui Costa; he eventually returned to the juniors, scoring 18 goals in his last year in the category.

In the following three seasons Rosa would be loaned by Benfica, always to clubs in the second division. On 31 August 2008 he made his professional debut, playing 17 minutes for G.D. Estoril Praia in a 0–0 home draw against U.D. Oliveirense, and was voted the league's Young Player of the Month in December 2008.[1] He scored ten goals in the 2009–10 campaign for A.D. Carregado (13 overall) who were competing in the category for the first time ever, eventually being relegated back.

In 2010–11, with C.F. Os Belenenses, Rosa was often played as a second striker instead of his favoured attacking midfielder position. He finished with 11 goals in all competitions, and was named the second level's Player of the Year.[2]

In the following summer Rosa was called to Benfica's first team along with fellow youth graduates Nélson Oliveira, Rúben Pinto and David Simão.[3] However, it was soon after announced that the Eagles and Belenenses had reached an agreement on extending the loan for the entire 2011–12 season:[4] he continued with his goalscoring form and ended his second stint as club top scorer, also being voted the division two's Breakthrough Player of the Year.[5]

After his stint at Belenenses Rosa was linked with Vitória de Setúbal,[6] but he eventually returned to Benfica, being given the B-side's captain armband. On 27 October 2012 he was called by first-team coach Jorge Jesus for a top flight match against Gil Vicente FC, but did not leave the bench; he finished the second division campaign as team top scorer, and for the second time in his career was voted the Segunda Liga Player of the Year.[7]

Belenenses

On 2 August 2013 Rosa signed for former club Belenenses, on a five-year contract.[8] He played his first game in the main category of Portuguese football on the 18th, replacing Fredy for the last 30 minutes of a 0–3 defeat against Rio Ave F.C. at the Estádio do Restelo.

On 13 March, Rosa scored the second goal in a 3-0 win against SC Braga. His goal was voted best goal of the month.[9]

International career

An international for Portugal at youth level, Rosa was elected Best Player in the 2008 Torneio Internacional do Porto for the under-19 team.[10]
