Biography

Rui Pedro Couto Ramalho (born 2 July 1988), known as Rui Pedro, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Bulgarian club PFC CSKA Sofia as a forward.

Club career

Born in Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto, Rui Pedro joined FC Porto's youth system in 2001, at the age of 13. He was promoted to the main squad for 2007–08, but his input would consist of 45 minutes in a 0–0 away draw against C.D. Fátima for the Portuguese League Cup; he finished the season on loan, appearing rarely for fellow Primeira Liga side C.F. Estrela da Amadora.

Pedro spent the following three years in the same predicament, appearing for three second level clubs and playing and scoring regularly for the last two, Gil Vicente F.C. and Leixões SC. In the 2011 summer he left Porto by mutual agreement and signed for three years with CFR Cluj in Romania, joining a host of compatriots at the Liga I team, including manager Jorge Costa. On 20 November of the following year he netted the first hat-trick of his professional career, scoring all three goals in a 3–1 home win against S.C. Braga for the campaign's UEFA Champions League group stage.

On 8 July 2014 Rui Pedro returned to Portugal, joining Académica de Coimbra on a two-year deal.

International career

All youth categories comprised, Rui Pedro gained 64 caps for Portugal, scoring 20 goals. On 25 March 2009 he, alongside teammate Bruno Pereirinha, was suspended by under-21 coach Carlos Queiroz after both attempted an unsuccessful backpass penalty during a match against Cape Verde for the Madeira International Tournament (the score was then at 2–0 for the hosts).
