Club career
Belenenses
Ribeiro was born in Lisbon, and he joined C.F. Os Belenenses' youth system at the age of 15. He made his Primeira Liga debut for the renamed B-SAD on 15 September 2019, playing the entire 3–1 away win against C.S. Marítimo.[2] [3]
In January 2020, Ribeiro injured his right knee during training, going on to be sidelined for several months.[4] He continued to be a starter under Petit after his recovery,[5] scoring his first league goal on 20 February 2021 to open a 2–1 home victory over C.D. Nacional.[6] The previous 27 December, he had been sent off for two quick yellow cards in the 1–2 loss to Sporting CP also at the Estádio Nacional, the second for handball.[7]
Grasshoppers
On 26 January 2022, Ribeiro signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with Swiss Super League club Grasshopper Club Zürich, rejoining his compatriots and former Belenenses teammates André Moreira and André Santos.[8] He started in his first appearance four days later, a 2–0 defeat at FC Sion.[9] He missed the vast majority of the season, due to a meniscus injury.[10]
Ribeiro returned to action on 6 August 2022, as a last-minute substitute against FC St. Gallen.[11] [12] One week later, he was directly involved in both of his team's goals, first equalising then providing the cross for Renat Dadashov in the 2–2 away draw with Sion.[13]
Vitória Guimarães
Ribeiro returned to Portugal on 20 July 2023, on a four-year deal at Vitória de Guimarães.[14] [15]
