Career & Clubs
Born in Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto District, Rui Pedro joined FC Porto's youth system in 1998, at the age of 10. He was promoted to the main squad for 2007–08, but his input consisted of 45 minutes in a 0–0 away draw against C.D. Fátima in the Taça da Liga. He finished the season on loan, appearing rarely for fellow Primeira Liga side C.F. Estrela da Amadora. Rui Pedro spent the following three years out on loan, appearing for three Segunda Liga clubs and playing and scoring regularly for the last two, Gil Vicente F.C. and Leixões SC. In summer 2011, he left Porto by mutual agreement and signed for three years with CFR Cluj in Romania, joining a host of compatriots at the Liga I team, including manager Jorge Costa. On 20 November 2012, he achieved the only hat-trick of his professional career, scoring all three goals in a 3–1 home win over S.C. Braga in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. Rui Pedro returned to Portugal on 8 July 2014, joining Académica de Coimbra on a two-year deal. He netted six times in his first year to help his team narrowly avoid relegation, but they did go down the following campaign. On 26 June 2017, Rui Pedro was signed by Nemzeti Bajnokság I club Ferencvárosi TC for three years, from Bulgaria's PFC CSKA Sofia.
Rui Pedro earned 66 caps for Portugal across all youth levels, scoring 20 goals. On 25 March 2009 he, alongside teammate Bruno Pereirinha, was suspended by under-21 coach Carlos Queiroz after both attempted an unsuccessful backpass penalty during a match against Cape Verde in the Madeira International Tournament (the score was then at 2–0 for the hosts).
