Veloso established a regular place in the Sporting team in the 2006/07 season after returning from a successful loan spell at Olivais e Moscavide. Veloso's talent became known to a wider audience in his clubs famous 1-0 win over Inter Milan in which his man of the match performance took the spotlight of Luis Figo's homecoming.
