Rúben Daniel Fonseca Macedo (born 9 March 1996) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for C.D. Nacional as a winger.
Club career
[edit]Porto
[edit]Born in Amarante, Porto District of Swiss descent, Macedo joined FC Porto's academy at the age of 11. On 1 February 2015, still a junior, he made his professional debut with the B side, coming on as a late substitute for Frédéric Maciel in a 4–0 home win against S.C. Covilhã in the Segunda Liga.[2] On 3 October of the same year, the week after finding the net against Chelsea for the UEFA Youth League (3–3 group stage home draw),[3] he scored his first league goal, helping the visitors defeat S.C. Olhanense 2–0.[4]
Macedo contributed 34 matches (14 starts) and four goals in the 2015–16 season, as his team became the first reserve one to win the second division championship.[5][6] On 3 January 2018 he was loaned to fellow league club Varzim SC, reuniting with his former coach Capucho.[7]
On 12 June 2018, Macedo renewed his contract with Porto until 2020.[8] In December, he went on loan to G.D. Chaves of the Primeira Liga.[9] His maiden appearance in the competition took place on 13 January 2019, when he started the 2–1 victory over C.D. Tondela.[10]
Aves
[edit]Deemed surplus to requirements by manager Sérgio Conceição, Macedo left the Estádio do Dragão and signed a three-year contract with C.D. Aves on 4 July 2019.[11] He scored his only goal for the bottom-placed team on 18 August, in the 3–1 home defeat of C.S. Marítimo.[12]
Marítimo
[edit]On 18 August 2020, Macedo joined Marítimo on a two-year deal.[13] The following 22 February, he gave away an injury-time penalty against his former club Porto – who won 2–1 as a result of that action, after Otávio converted it[14]– being subsequently subjected to abuse on his social media.[15]
