Joao Ricardo da Silva Afonso (born 28 May 1990) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for C.D. Santa Clara as a central defender.
Club Career
Vitoria Guimaraes
Born in Castelo Branco, Afonso started playing with local Sport Benfica e Castelo Branco, after joining its youth system in 2007. He went on to spend several seasons with the club in the lower leagues, also being awarded team captaincy.
On 20 June 2014, after being linked with C.S. Maritimo and Gil Vicente FC, Afonso signed with fellow Primeira Liga side Vitoria de Guimaraes. He made his debut as a professional on 22 August of that year, replacing injured Moreno midway through the first half of an eventual 3–0 home win against F.C. Penafiel.
Afonso joined G.D. Estoril Praia also from the top division on 31 August 2016, in a season-long loan deal. The following 9 July, still owned by Vitoria, he moved abroad after agreeing to a one-year loan with Cordoba CF.
Santa Clara
In late June 2019, Afonso left the Estadio D. Afonso Henriques and joined C.D. Santa Clara on a three-year contract.
