Paulo António da Silva Ribeiro (born 6 March 1984) is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Ribeiro was born in Setúbal. After emerging through local Vitória FC's youth academy and making his Primeira Liga debut on 31 January 2005 in a 1–1 away draw against Sporting CP, he joined FC Porto in the summer of 2005. During his two season-spell he could never manage to be more than third choice, only appearing in preseason; he also spent two years on loan in the Segunda Liga. In 2009, Ribeiro was released by Porto and joined lowly F.C. Vizela. At the end of the campaign he signed with Leixões SC, recently relegated to the second tier, only managing to play twice in the league in his sole season (four competitive matches) and being released by the Matosinhos club.
