Ricardo Ribeiro de Lima (born 27 March 1989), commonly known as Ricardinho, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder.

Club career

Ricardinho was born in Itaberaí, Goiás, and was a Goiás youth graduate. He made his first team debut on 30 January 2008, starting in a 1–0 Campeonato Goiano away win against CRAC.

Mainly assigned to the under-20 squad, Ricardinho only made his Série A debut on 15 November 2009, coming on as a late substitute for Léo Lima in a 3–1 home win against Santo André. After being rarely used, he moved to Rio Branco-SP for the 2010 campaign.

After again featuring sparingly, Ricardinho returned to his native state and joined Série B side Vila Nova in October 2010. A regular starter during his two-year spell, he agreed to a contract with Avaí in December 2012.

Ricardinho began the 2014 campaign with Rio Branco-PR, later moving to Paraná, where he established himself as a regular starter in the right back. On 13 January 2016, after being deemed surplus to requirements by the latter club, he joined Criciúma.

Ricardinho was presented at Guarani on 21 December 2017, immediately becoming a starter and scoring the winning goal of the 2018 Campeonato Paulista Série A2 final against XV de Piracicaba. On 19 November 2018, he renewed his contract until December 2020.

On 3 August 2020, after appearing rarely during the season, Ricardinho moved to top-tier side Sport Recife. On 5 August of the following year, he joined Juventude also in the first division.

On 4 April 2022, after featuring rarely during the year, Ricardinho agreed to a deal with Operário Ferroviário in the second level. On 2 December, after suffering relegation, he moved to Novorizontino.

On 28 December 2023, Ricardinho was announced at Portuguesa for the 2024 Campeonato Paulista.
