Ricardo Álvares Guedes Vaz (born 26 November 1994) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a right winger for Spanish club Reus FC Reddis.
Club career
[edit]Estoril
[edit]Born in Alcabideche, Cascais, Vaz graduated from G.D. Estoril Praia's youth setup. He played his first match as a professional on 4 January 2014, coming on as a 63rd-minute substitute in a 5–1 away win against Leixões S.C. in the fifth round of the Taça de Portugal.[2] In his maiden Primeira Liga appearance, on 1 March, he only needed six minutes on the pitch to score his first goal in the competition, converting a penalty kick in the late stages of an eventual 4–0 home defeat of S.C. Olhanense.[3][4]
Reus
[edit]On 27 January 2015, Vaz terminated his contract with Estoril and moved to Spain after agreeing to a five-year deal with Segunda División B side CF Reus Deportiu.[5] He made 27 appearances in his first full season – playoffs included – scoring three times to help the club reach Segunda División for the first time in its 117-year history.[6]
Vaz scored his first goal in the Spanish second tier on 10 September 2016, equalising the 1–1 home draw with CD Numancia.[7]
OFI
[edit]On 30 January 2019, OFI Crete F.C. announced the signing of Vaz on a two-and-a-half-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[8] He scored his first Super League Greece goal on 31 March, but in a 3–1 away loss against Aris Thessaloniki FC.[9] He repeated the feat a week later, at home to relegation rivals PAS Giannina FC (1–0).[10]
