Ricardo José Araújo Ferreira (born 25 November 1992) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for S.C. Braga as a central defender.
Club career
Born in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada to Portuguese parents,[1] Ferreira played youth football with FC Porto from the age of 15, and was included in the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League squad list. However, he never appeared officially for the first team.
On 8 July 2011, Ferreira signed for A.C. Milan on a free transfer.[2][3] He played his last year as a junior with the Rossoneri.[4]
For 2012–13, Ferreira was loaned to fellow Italian side Empoli FC,[5] in Serie B. He made his professional debut on 25 September 2012, coming on as a substitute for Vincent Laurini in the 29th minute of an eventual 0–2 away loss against Calcio Padova.[6]
Subsequently, Ferreira competed in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, being a backup at S.C. Olhanense,[7] F.C. Paços de Ferreira and S.C. Braga. He contributed with nine appearances in the latter club's quarter-final run in the 2015–16 edition of the UEFA Europa League, scoring in the group stage against FC Slovan Liberec (2–1 home win)[8] but netting twice in his own goal in the 0–4 away loss to FC Shakhtar Donetsk (1–6 on aggregate).[9]
