Club career

Ribeiro was born in Setúbal. After emerging through local Vitória FC's youth academy and making his Primeira Liga debut on 31 January 2005 in a 1–1 away draw against Sporting CP, he joined FC Porto in the summer of 2005. During his two season-spell he could never manage to be more than third-choice, only appearing in pre-season; he also spent two years on loan in the second division.
In 2009, Ribeiro was released by Porto and joined lowly F.C. Vizela. At the end of the campaign he signed with Leixões SC, recently relegated to the second level, only managing to play twice in the league during his sole season and being released by the Matosinhos club.
