Club career

Tondela

Born in Vila Nova de Paiva, Viseu District, Ramos played for Académico de Viseu F.C. in his hometown as a youth before moving to Vitória S.C. in 2007. He never played a senior game for the team from Guimarães and was loaned to Amarante F.C.[2] and C.D. Tondela, who he joined permanently after winning promotion from the third division in the 2011–12 season.[3] [4] [5]

Tondela reached the Primeira Liga for the first time in 2014–15,[6] 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.[7] He was voted by club fans as Player of the Year for the 2015–16 campaign.[8]

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.[9]

From 9 April 2017 to 9 February 2020, Ramos started 94 consecutive league games, surpassing the previous record held by fellow goalkeeper Rui Patrício.[10] He extended that mark to 103 on 1 July.[11]

Ramos left Tondela at the end of the 2019–20 season, when his contract expired.[12]

Porto

On 13 August 2020, Ramos signed a four-year deal with defending champions FC Porto.[13] His first involvement for the club was on 21 December as the reserves drew 1–1 at G.D. Estoril Praia.[14]

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.[15]

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.[16]
