Sandro Rafael Ferreira Costa (born 23 September 1995) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a central defender for A.D. Os Limianos.
Born in Barcelos, Braga District, Costa played youth football with S.C. Braga and Gil Vicente FC, joining the latter's academy at the age of 14.[2] He made his senior debut with Vilaverdense F.C. in the lower leagues.[3]
Costa's first match in the Segunda Liga with Gil occurred on 8 August 2015, when he featured the entire 1–1 home draw against C.D. Mafra.[4] In January 2016, he was voted the competition's best young player.[3]
On 30 July 2018, Costa signed a two-year contract with Italian Serie C club F.C. Rieti.[5] He did not appear in any competitive games due to a serious cruciate ligament injury, and left by mutual consent on 15 May 2019.[6]
