Jorge Miguel de Oliveira Ribeiro (born 9 November 1981) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for S.C. Farense. Mainly a left back, he can also play as a midfielder.
Brought up through S.L. Benfica's youth system, Lisbon-born Ribeiro would serve several loans to Primeira Liga and second division clubs before being purchased in January 2005 by Russian Premier League's FC Dynamo Moscow. Unadjusted, he left the team precisely a year after, joining La Liga side Málaga CF until the end of the season, which ended in relegation.
In January 2007, Ribeiro returned to Portugal, joining C.D. Aves still on loan from the Russians. On 4 February, he played his first league match for his new club against S.C. Braga (0–1 away loss), as the team he represented again dropped down a level. He would be purchased by Boavista F.C. in July and blossomed as a top flight player, scoring eight league goals during his only campaign, many from free kicks.
On 24 July 2008, Ribeiro returned to Benfica. Having scored his first goal for them on 22 September in a 4–3 win at F.C. Paços de Ferreira, he eventually became first-choice left-back, overtaking Brazilian Léo.
However, Ribeiro soon lost his starting place to David Luiz, and eventually was deemed surplus to requirements. In the 2009–10 season, as Benfica won the league and the League Cup, he did not collect one single official appearance, often training separately and choosing to see out his lucrative contract rather than signing with another club.
