Club career
Born in Guimarães, Areias joined the academy of local club Vitória S.C. at the age of 9. He made his senior debut with their reserves on 11 December 2012, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0−0 home draw against C.F. União for the Segunda Liga.[2] His first goals came also that season, but his brace was achieved in a 2−4 home loss to F.C. Penafiel on 12 May 2013.[3]
Areias' first appearance in the Primeira Liga with the first team occurred on 14 December 2014, when he played 15 minutes of the 0−0 home draw against Rio Ave FC.[4][5] He spent the 2016–17 and 2017–18 campaigns on loan to second-division sides FC Porto B[6] and F.C. Arouca.[7]
In June 2018, the free agent Areias signed a one-year contract with Penafiel also of the second tier.[8] He scored six competitive goals during his spell at the Estádio Municipal 25 de Abril, including two in a 3–2 away victory over C.D. Trofense in the second round of the Taça de Portugal.[9] He also found the net in both league fixtures against Guimarães B (3–2 and 5–4 wins).[10][11]
On 4 July 2019, Areias agreed to a one-year deal at C.D. Mafra of the same level.[12]
