Mário Ricardo da Silva Velho (born 20 August 1998) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Primeira Liga club S.C. Farense as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Braga

Born in Vila Nova de Famalicão, Braga District, Velho joined S.C. Braga's academy when he was 14.[2] On 23 August 2017, he made his professional debut with the reserve team in a 2–1 away loss against F.C. Penafiel in the LigaPro.[3]

During his spell, Velho played second-fiddle to Tiago Sá (who later appeared in several matches for the main squad) and Rogério Santos.[4][5]

Farense

On 31 July 2020, Velho signed a two-year contract with second-division club S.C. Farense.[6] In the 2022–23 season, he contributed 22 games as his side finished runners-up and returned to the Primeira Liga after a two-year absence, while they conceded a league-best 34 goals; subsequently, he agreed to an extension until June 2026.[7][8]

Velho's maiden appearance in the top flight took place on 12 August 2023, in a 0–3 home defeat to Casa Pia AC.[9]
