Ronaldo Rodrigues Tavares (born 22 July 1997) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for K League 1 club FC Seoul, on loan from Estrela da Amadora.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Amora (Seixal), Setúbal District, Tavares joined Sporting CP's academy at the age of 16, from local Paio Pires Futebol Clube.[2] He made his professional debut with the former's reserves on 10 January 2016, coming on as a second-half substitute for Rafael Barbosa in a 2–0 away loss against C.D. Feirense in the Segunda Liga.[3]

Tavares scored his first goal in the competition on 20 August 2016, but in a 2–4 home defeat to AD Fafe.[4] In March 2018, he was called by first-team manager Jorge Jesus for a match against FC Viktoria Plzeň in the UEFA Europa League round of 16,[2] but eventually did not leave the bench.[5]

On 23 July 2018, Tavares was loaned to C.D. Cova da Piedade.[6] In the summer of 2019, he cut ties with Sporting and signed with F.C. Penafiel also of the second division.[7]

In September 2022, Tavares joined C.F. Estrela da Amadora following an aborted transfer to Turkish club Tuzlaspor.[8] He scored seven goals in his first season, as the team returned to the Primeira Liga after a 14-year absence;[9] he opened the 2–1 home victory over G.D. Estoril Praia on 25 August 2023, their first since returning to that tier.[10]

Tavares was loaned to FC Seoul on 20 June 2024.[11] He scored his first K League 1 goal nine days later, closing the 5–1 away win against Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors.[12]

International career

[edit]

Tavares earned one cap for Portugal at under-20 level, in the 1–1 friendly draw with South Korea on 25 January 2017.[13]
