Club career
Ramos was born in Bilbao, Biscay. After playing with modest Basque clubs in his early career (although he was part of Athletic Bilbao's youth system from ages 11 to 14), he joined Bilbao Athletic for the 2007–08 season, with the reserves competing in the Segunda División B.[1]
Ramos made his first-team debut on 16 January 2008, coming on as a substitute for Tiko during the 1–1 away draw with RCD Espanyol in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey.[2] His first La Liga appearance came on the 27th in the home fixture against FC Barcelona (45 minutes played, same result),[3] and he went on to play seven competitive matches throughout the campaign, but was mainly registered for the B side.[1]
In July 2008, Ramos was released by Athletic,[4] joining Écija Balompié in the third tier.[5] Remaining in the lower leagues, he returned to his native region after just one season and successively represented Barakaldo CF, amateurs CD Laudio and Arenas Club de Getxo.[6]
Ramos returned to his first club Bermeo FT on 5 June 2020 – two decades after leaving – aged 35.[7]
