Club career
Born in Lisbon, Ribeiro joined Sporting CP's academy at the age of 9. After loans to lower league clubs Sertanense F.C. and A.D. Camacha, he signed a professional contract until June 2018 with a €45 million buyout clause.[3] He spent three full seasons with Sporting's reserves in the Segunda Liga, playing his first match in the competition on 6 December 2012 and being sent off in injury time of the 3–2 away loss against C.F. União.[4]
Ribeiro was loaned to Recreativo de Huelva in the Spanish Segunda División B on 15 August 2015, moving alongside teammates Kikas and Mica Pinto.[5] He returned to his country in the next transfer window, joining second-tier C.D. Feirense also on loan.[6]
On 11 May 2016, Ribeiro agreed to a three-year deal with G.D. Estoril Praia.[7] He made his Primeira Liga debut on 11 February 2017, in a 2–1 home victory over F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[8] He added six appearances in that season's Taça de Portugal, helping his team reach the semi-finals.[9]
Ribeiro returned to division two in January 2018, and stayed there the following years, with Real SC,[10] Leixões SC, F.C. Penafiel[11] and U.D. Vilafranquense.[12]
International career
Ribeiro, Tiago Maia and Mika were the three goalkeepers selected by Portugal manager Ilídio Vale for the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Colombia. The latter played all the games and minutes in Colombia, in a runner-up finish.[13][14]
On 14 November 2012, Ribeiro won his first cap at under-21 level, featuring 45 minutes in a 3–2 friendly defeat of Scotland held in Setúbal.[15]
