Club career
Tondela
Born in Vila Nova de Paiva, Viseu District, Ramos represented Académico de Viseu F.C. in his hometown as a youth before moving to Vitória S.C. in 2007.[3] He never played a senior game for the team from Guimarães and was loaned to Amarante F.C.[4] and C.D. Tondela, who he joined permanently after winning promotion from the third division in the 2011–12 season.[5][6][7]
Tondela reached the Primeira Liga for the first time in 2014–15,[8] and Ramos made his debut in the competition on 30 October 2015 in a 0–4 home loss against S.L. Benfica after Matt Jones suffered an injury at the 30-minute mark.[9] He was voted by club fans as Player of the Year for the 2015–16 campaign.[10]
Ramos played all 34 matches in 2017–18, and the last one was his 200th for Tondela, making him the second-most used player in their history. He also led the league in saves (126) and penalty saves (three) that year.[11]
From 9 April 2017 to 9 February 2020, Ramos started 94 consecutive league games, surpassing the previous record held by fellow goalkeeper Rui Patrício.[12] He extended that mark to 103 on 1 July.[13]
Ramos left Tondela at the end of the 2019–20 season, when his contract expired.[14]
Porto
On 13 August 2020, Ramos signed a four-year deal with defending champions FC Porto.[15] His first involvement for the club was on 21 December as the reserves drew 1–1 at G.D. Estoril Praia.[16]
Ramos earned a league medal for the first team in the 2021–22 campaign, starting in a 2–0 home win over Estoril in the last matchday.[17] He took the field in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup group opener against SE Palmeiras due to the absence of Diogo Costa, and produced a number of saves in a 0–0 draw;[18] after the match, newspaper A Bola and opposition manager Abel Ferreira praised his performance.[19][20]
International career
Ramos made his senior debut for Portugal on 14 October 2018 in a 3–1 friendly win over Scotland at Hampden Park, playing the last four minutes as a substitute for Beto.[21]
