Figueiras returned to Paços for the 2012–13 campaign, contributing 19 games in 1,665 minutes of action as the club finished a best-ever third and qualified to the UEFA Champions League for the first time in its history.[6]
On 9 July 2015, Figueiras was loaned to Genoa C.F.C. of Serie A, with the option to buy.[14] He totalled ten appearances for the team, scoring to open a 1–2 home defeat to Carpi F.C. 1909 on 29 November.[15] His loan was cut short the following 30 January, with Sevilla manager Unai Emery needing cover for the injured Marco Andreolli.[16]
Olympiacos
On 25 May 2016, Figueiras signed a three-year contract with Olympiacos F.C. for a fee of €1.5 million. He joined compatriot Marco Silva (manager) at the Greek champions.[17]
Figueiras scored once[18] from 24 appearances in his first season (all starts), helping the club win the Super League for the seventh time in a row.[19]
Braga
Figueiras returned to Portugal on 30 January 2018, joining S.C. Braga on a three-and-a-half-year deal worth €1.2 million.[20] Deemed surplus to requirements by manager Abel Ferreira shortly after his arrival,[21][22] he was later demoted to the reserve team.[23]
On 30 August 2019, Figueiras was loaned to fellow top-flight side Rio Ave F.C. for the season.[24] He played just over half of the games for the Vilacondenses who finished a joint-best fifth with a record points tally, and was sent off on 17 June at the end of a 2–1 home loss to Benfica for alleging that the referee had been bribed; he was given a two-match ban for this statement.[25]
Famalicão
Figueiras signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with F.C. Famalicão on 21 January 2021, after severing his ties with Braga.[26]
