Rui Pedro Coimbra Chaves (born 11 September 1990), known as Ruca, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Campeonato de Portugal club São João de Ver.

Club career

Born in Tondela, Viseu District, Ruca moved to S.C. Beira-Mar's youth system at the age of 16 from local Clube de Futebol Repesenses. After winning the second-division juniors championship in 2009, he signed with Gil Vicente FC.[2]

In his first season as a senior, Ruca was loaned to hometown's C.D. Tondela. He made his competitive debut against Amarante F.C. on 30 August 2009, in a match for the Taça de Portugal. He continued to be loaned the following years, to Vilaverdense FC, Oliveira de Frades (two spells) and again Tondela.[3]

Ruca joined yet another club in the third division in the summer of 2013, SC Mirandela.[4] He had been previously deployed as a left winger or attacking midfielder, but switched to left-back at his new team.[5]

On 1 July 2014, Ruca signed for C.D. Mafra as a free agent after his contract with Gil expired.[6] Starting in all his league appearances, he contributed seven goals to help the side win the championship and subsequently promote to the Segunda Liga.[7]

Ruca agreed to a two-year deal with Vitória F.C. from the Primeira Liga, on 11 June 2015.[8][9] He scored on his debut in the competition on 16 August, putting the hosts ahead 2–0 in an eventual 2–2 draw against Boavista FC.[10]

On 30 August 2016, Ruca was linked to Cypriot club Apollon Limassol FC, but Vitória manager José Couceiro vetoed his departure due to lack of options in his position.[11] On 30 December he left by mutual consent due to lack of playing time[12] and, two days later, returned to Tondela.[13]

Ruca continued to compete in the Portuguese second tier in the following seasons (a brief loan spell in the Cypriot First Division notwithstanding),[14] representing Mafra,[15] C.D. Feirense and F.C. Penafiel.[16] He moved abroad again in July 2022, joining PFC Beroe Stara Zagora of the First Professional Football League (Bulgaria).[17]

Ruca subsequently returned to Portugal, representing in the lower leagues Académica de Coimbra[18] and SC São João de Ver.[19]
