João Ricardo Pereira Queirós (born 22 April 1998) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for G.D. Chaves.

Club career

Born in Barroselas, Viana do Castelo, Queirós played youth football for a host of clubs, joining S.C. Braga at the age of 16. On 21 May 2017, in the last day of the season and while still a junior, he made his senior debut with the reserves, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 home draw against Sporting CP B in the Segunda Liga.[2]

On 18 July 2017, Queirós signed a five-year contract with Bundesliga team 1. FC Köln.[3] During his tenure in Germany, however, he was solely associated to the reserve side.

Queirós returned to his homeland in June 2018, joining Sporting CP and being assigned to their newly created under-23 team.[4] On 8 August 2019, still owned by Köln, he moved to Willem II of the Dutch Eredivisie.[5]

In August 2021, Queirós was released from his contract and signed with Liga Portugal 2 club G.D. Chaves.[6]

International career

Queirós won his only cap for Portugal at under-21 level on 25 May 2018, coming on as a late substitute in the 3–2 friendly victory over Italy in Estoril.[7]
