Jorge Ribeiro
Jorge Miguel de Oliveira Ribeiro (born 9 November 1981) is a Portuguese former professional footballer. Mainly a left-back, he could also play as a wing-back or midfielder.
He totalled 118 Primeira Liga games and 15 goals, for six clubs including two spells at Benfica, and added 185 appearances in LigaPro for as many teams. Additionally, he had stints in Russia with Dynamo Moscow and in Spain.
Ribeiro earned 52 caps for Portugal at youth level, and represented the country at Euro 2008.
Born in Lisbon, Ribeiro was brought up in Benfica's youth system. In 2002, he was one of three young players sold to fellow Primeira Liga club Varzim, along with Rui Baião and Pepa. In January 2005, after angering his employers Gil Vicente by an unauthorised absence, he was purchased by the Russian Premier League's Dynamo Moscow; unadjusted, he left the team precisely a year after, joining La Liga side Málaga until the end of the season, which ended in relegation.
Ribeiro returned to Portugal in January 2007, joining Aves still on loan from the Russians. On 4 February, he made his debut for his new club in a 1–0 away loss against Braga, as the team he represented again dropped down a level. He would be purchased by Boavista in July and blossomed as a top-flight player, scoring eight league goals during his only campaign, many from free kicks.
On 24 July 2008, Ribeiro returned to Benfica after a deal was agreed upon in April. Having scored his first goal for them on 22 September in a 4–3 win at Paços de Ferreira, he eventually became first-choice left-back, overtaking Brazilian Léo.
However, Ribeiro soon lost his starting place to David Luiz, and eventually was deemed surplus to requirements. In the 2009–10 season, as Benfica won the league and the League Cup, he did not play a single competitive match, often training separately and choosing to see out his lucrative contract rather than signing with another club.
On 16 August 2011, after spending five months on loan to Vitória de Guimarães, Ribeiro signed for two years with Granada on a free transfer. He only made one official appearance with the Andalusians – 55 minutes against Real Sociedad in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey (4–1 away defeat)– losing his No. 16 jersey in the winter transfer window and being released from contract on 17 February 2012.
