João Ricardo Pereira Queirós (born 22 April 1998) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Liga Portugal 2 club Mafra.
Club career[edit]
Born in Barroselas, Viana do Castelo, Queirós played youth football for a host of clubs, joining S.C. Braga at the age of 16. On 21 May 2017, in the last day of the season and while still a junior, he made his senior debut with the reserves, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 home draw against Sporting CP B in the Segunda Liga.[2]
On 18 July 2017, Queirós signed a five-year contract with Bundesliga team 1. FC Köln.[3] During his tenure in Germany, however, he was solely associated to the reserve side.[4]
Queirós returned to his homeland in June 2018, joining Sporting CP and being assigned to their newly created under-23 team.[5] On 8 August 2019, still owned by Köln, he moved to Willem II of the Dutch Eredivisie.[6]
In August 2021, Queirós was released from his contract and signed with second-tier club G.D. Chaves.[4] On 27 August 2022, as they were back in the Primeira Liga, he played his first match in the competition, as a 79th-minute substitute in the 2–0 away win over Sporting.[7]
Queirós returned to the second division on 31 January 2024, joining C.D. Mafra.[8]
International career[edit]
Queirós won his only cap for Portugal at under-21 level on 25 May 2018, coming on as a late substitute in the 3–2 friendly victory over Italy in Estoril.[9]
