Growing up in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Ribeiro played college soccer at Coastal Carolina beginning in 2010.[1] During his time with Coastal Carolina, Ribeiro won multiple Big South Regular Season titles (3) and Big South Tournament Titles (2) contributing 31 goals and 26 assists.[1]

Club

Philadelphia Union

[edit]

Ribeiro was selected as the 15th overall pick of the 2014 MLS SuperDraft by Philadelphia Union, who were familiar with him from a brief stint with their affiliate team, Reading United.[2] Ribeiro made his professional debut and start on August 15 against Houston Dynamo.[3] His first goal for the Union was scored in his third appearance in a home match against New York Red Bulls.[3]

Ahead of the 2015 season, Ribeiro was selected by expansion side Orlando City SC in the 2014 MLS Expansion Draft.[4][5]

Loan to Harrisburg
[edit]

During the 2014 season, Ribeiro was loaned to Philadelphia USL affiliate Harrisburg City Islanders where he would make 12 appearances and scoring 4 goals.[6]

Orlando City

[edit]

Ribeiro's debut with Orlando came on 13 March 2015, away to the Houston Dynamo; he replaced Carlos Rivas in the 54th minute and twenty minutes later put pressure on Tyler Deric, leading the goalkeeper to score an own goal to give Orlando a 1–0 win. Pedro also scored in the 29th minute at Montreal and 89th minute at home against the Columbus Crew SC, both resulting in 2–2 draws.[7]

Ribeiro was released by Orlando in November 2016 after not exercising his contract option.[8]

Harrisburg City Islanders

Ribeiro signed with United Soccer League side Harrisburg City Islanders on 14 April 2017.[9]

Following a season with USL side Fresno FC, Ribeiro joined Swedish Superettan side IK Frej on 18 January 2019.[10]
