Joao scored six goals and made seven assists in 30 league games for Nacional last season.

The Angolan-born player moves to the Owls for an undisclosed fee, and joins former Nacional teammate Marco Matias at the club.

Joao could make his Wednesday debut in a pre-season friendly against St Mirren on Saturday.
