Born on the 15th of September 1994, Ricardo Horta is a seasoned footballer hailing from Portugal. Donning the number 21 jersey, this agile forward plays primarily as a striker for the Portuguese outfit SC Braga. Despite his relatively slight stature of 5ft 8in (1.73m) and a weight of 9st 12lb (63kg), Horta has been consistently impressive on the pitch.
As stated on Transfermarkt, his current market value hovers around an estimable £10.5m.
Horta's professional football journey commenced in January 2013 with Portugal's Vitória Setúbal. His first season witnessed him making six first-team appearances. But it was the subsequent season (2013-2014) at Vitória Setúbal that saw him get into his stride, with 28 first team appearances and seven goals to his credit.
In July 2014, Horta made a significant switch, transferring from Vitória Setúbal to Malaga in Spain's Segunda División. This move reportedly came with a transfer fee of around £700k. During his time at Malaga, spanning from 2014 to 2016, Horta made 48 first team appearances and netted one goal.
July 2016 saw Horta's career taking him back to his native Portugal, as he transferred from Malaga to SC Braga on loan. His performance steadily escalated at Braga, with his goal tally steadily growing each season, reaching a remarkable 19 goals in the 2021-2022 season. The 2025-2026 season currently sees him with five first team appearances and two goals.
Noteworthy is his participation in the Champions League in the 2023-2024 season, where he started six times for SC Braga. Recently, in the Europa League Qualifiers and the Europa League in the 2025-2026 season, he boasted five starts and scored one goal in two starts, respectively.
