Ricardo Horta, born 15 September 1994 (age 32), is a Portuguese forward whose career has been shaped overwhelmingly by SC Braga. Whatever else sits around it, Braga is the substantial body of work: 316 league appearances and 113 league goals across 11 seasons.
His most productive league campaign came in 2021-22, when he scored 19 times in 32 appearances. That was not a sudden cameo of form, but the high point of a long, steady spell in which he became a consistent attacking reference for Braga rather than another forward passing through.
In 2026-27, he has made seven appearances and scored three goals in all competitions for Braga, with those goals coming in Conference League qualifying. His current market value is around £10m, according to Transfermarkt.
Horta’s career is, in plain terms, the career of a long-serving Braga attacker: durable, productive, and still part of the picture there well into his thirties.
