Filipe Alexandre Morais (born 21 November 1985) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a winger for Bolton Wanderers.
Morais began his career at Chelsea, progressing through the youth system before signing a professional deal in 2005. Having made no first-team appearances for Chelsea, Morais was loaned out to Milton Keynes Dons in January 2006, spending the remainder of the 2005–06 campaign with the League One side. Ahead of the 2006–07 season, Morais joined Millwall on a free transfer. He spent half a season playing for Millwall, before joining St Johnstone on loan until the end of the season. Morais was released by Millwall on returning to the club, and subsequently signed for SPL club Hibernian on a free transfer in July 2007. He spent one-and-a-half years at the club, before signing for Inverness Caledonian Thistle in January 2009. He rejoined St Johnstone in the summer of 2009, and spent the 2009–10 campaign playing regularly for the club. Morais returned to England for the 2010–11 season, signing for Oldham Athletic in October 2010. In July 2012, he left Oldham and signed for Stevenage on a free transfer and has since turned out for Bradford City and his current club Bolton.
Morais started his career at Chelsea, joining the club's academy at the age of 16. Morais played in manager José Mourinho's first game in-charge, coming on as an 83rd-minute substitute in a pre-season friendly against Oxford United in July 2004. Morais recalled of playing after the match against Oxford United, quoting: "In my first year as a professional, when I was 18, Jose came in and he took me into the first-team squad straight away. I was with them for the whole pre-season and came on against Oxford in Jose's first game. That was great. Going into the season, he spoke to me and said I was going to be part of the squad."
