Francisco 'Chico' Augusto Neto Ramos (born 10 April 1995) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Polish club Radomiak Radom as a midfielder.

Club career

Porto

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

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

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.

Radomiak

On 12 January 2023, Ramos agreed to a two-and-a-half-year contract with Radomiak Radom in the Polish Ekstraklasa.[13] On 15 April, during an away match against MKS Cracovia, he suffered a right leg fracture after an unsuccessful challenge on Takuto Oshima.[14]

International career

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.[15]

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.[16]
