Ricardo José da Silva Fernandes (born 28 October 1994) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Liga Portugal 2 club Torreense.

Club career

Born in Oliveira do Bairro, Aveiro District, Fernandes spent his first three years as a senior in the third division. In July 2016, he signed with Segunda Liga club AD Fafe on loan from C.F. Os Belenenses,[2] making his debut as a professional on 31 July of that month in a 0–1 home loss against F.C. Vizela in the first stage of the Portuguese League Cup.[3] His maiden league appearance took place on 28 November, when he kept a clean sheet to help the visitors defeat S.L. Benfica B 1–0.[4]

Fernandes returned to the Estádio do Restelo for the 2017–18 season,[5] where he acted as third or fourth choice. He made his Primeira Liga debut on 12 May 2018, coming on as a substitute for Muriel in the last nine minutes of the 1–0 away defeat to Boavista F.C. in the last matchday.[6]

On 22 May 2018, Fernandes dropped into the second tier on a two-year contract at F.C. Famalicão.[7] He was back-up to Rafael Defendi as the team won promotion as runners-up,[8] moving on to Académico de Viseu FC;[9] on his first of three appearances in his debut campaign for the latter on 22 December 2019, he was sent off for a foul on Mohamed Bouldini.[10]

Fernandes took the starting spot from Ricardo Janota in his second season in Viseu. At its conclusion, he signed a three-year deal at top-flight C.D. Santa Clara on 23 June 2021.[11]
