Nélson José Figueiredo Agra (born 6 January 1991) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder.

Club career

Born in Póvoa de Varzim, Agra developed in the ranks of hometown club Varzim S.C. from 2004. He made his debut on 5 December 2010 in a 3–3 Liga de Honra away draw against F.C. Arouca, starting and being substituted for his cousin Salvador Agra with ten minutes left.[2] He played four more games, all as starter, as the season ended with relegation.

In June 2013, Agra signed a three-year deal with Gil Vicente F.C. of the Primeira Liga.[3] His playing time was limited to the Taça da Liga, and halfway through the campaign he dropped down a league to Leixões S.C. on a five-month loan.[4]

Agra returned to Varzim, still in the third tier, ahead of 2014–15.[5] They won promotion as runners-up, and he remained a regular in the second division; he left his hometown team in June 2021 and criticised manager António Barbosa for playing him at right-back in his last season.[6]

After his exit from Varzim, Agra signed for S.C. Salgueiros in division four.[7] He scored once in his only season at the side from the north of Porto, deciding a 1–0 win over C.F. União de Coimbra on 19 September 2021.
