Francisco 'Chico' Augusto Neto Ramos (born 10 April 1995) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Liga Portugal 2 club Paços de Ferreira.
Club career
[edit]Porto
[edit]Born in Póvoa de Varzim, Ramos joined FC Porto's youth system at the age of 13, from local club Varzim SC. He made his senior debut with the former's B team, going on to spend several seasons with them in the Segunda Liga.[2][3]
Ramos' maiden appearance with the main squad took place on 20 January 2016, in a 1–0 away loss against F.C. Famalicão in the group stage of the Taça da Liga.[4][5] His first game in the Primeira Liga occurred on 12 March, as he came as an 88th-minute substitute for Vincent Aboubakar in the 3–2 home win over C.F. União.[6]
Ramos was supposed to join G.D. Chaves on loan for the 2016–17 campaign. Following a left-foot injury contracted during the Summer Olympics, however, the move was aborted.[7]
Vitória Guimarães
[edit]On 30 June 2017, Ramos signed a contract with Vitória de Guimarães.[8] He spent the better part of the following two seasons on loan to C.D. Santa Clara, also of the Portuguese top division.[9][10]
Nacional
[edit]On 28 September 2020, Ramos joined C.D. Nacional on a three-year deal.[11] The following 30 January, he scored his first top-flight goal to decide a 2–1 home victory over F.C. Famalicão;[12] the season ended in relegation.[13]
Radomiak
[edit]On 12 January 2023, Ramos agreed to a two-and-a-half-year contract with Radomiak Radom in the Polish Ekstraklasa.[14] On 15 April, during an away match against KS Cracovia, he suffered a right leg fracture after an unsuccessful challenge on Takuto Oshima.[15]
Later career
[edit]Ramos returned to Portugal for the 2025–26 season, with the 30-year-old signing a three-year deal with second-tier side F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[16]
International career
[edit]Ramos represented Portugal at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He played all the matches save one in New Zealand, helping his country to reach the quarter-finals.[17]
Ramos won his first cap for the under-21 side on 12 November 2015, featuring the second 45 minutes of the 4–0 victory against Albania in Arouca for the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers.[18]
