*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Ricardo Felipe dos Santos Esteves (born 16 September 1979) is a retired Portuguese footballer. On the right side of the pitch, he could play as either a defender or midfielder.
He played in 117 Primeira Liga games over the course of seven seasons, representing Vitória de Setúbal, Alverca, Benfica, Braga, Nacional, Paços de Ferreira and Marítimo in the competition. He also competed professionally in four other countries, mainly Italy.
Football career
Esteves was born in Lisbon. After arriving at S.L. Benfica at the age of 11 he moved constantly between the club's main and reserve squads, only appearing in ten games in the Primeira Liga, all in the same season. He was loaned once during his contract, and also had a brief spell with feeder club F.C. Alverca.[1]
Released in January 2002 Esteves represented, in quick succession, S.C. Braga, C.D. Nacional and F.C. Paços de Ferreira, after which he began an abroad adventure, playing three years in Italy with Reggina Calcio (two) and Vicenza Calcio in both major levels.
Esteves played in the 2007–08 campaign back in his country, with C.S. Marítimo, after which he moved again, now to Greece and Asteras Tripoli FC. In January 2010 he was sold to FC Seoul, scoring in his debut against Daejeon Citizen FC.
In June, after four goals and as many assists, Esteves was released. Late in that month he returned to his country and former side Marítimo, which had qualified for the UEFA Europa League.
