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, 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.[6] He was voted by club fans as Player of the Year for the 2015–16 campaign.[7]

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.[8]

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

Ramos left Tondela at the end of the 2019–20 season, when his contract expired.[11]

Porto

On 13 August 2020, Ramos signed a four-year deal with defending champions FC Porto.[12]

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.[13]
