Araruama Ribeiro

Marcos Vinicius Viana Ribeiro is a professional football player from Brazil, also known as Araruama, who plays as a midfielder. Normally playing as a creative midfielder, Ribeiro began his playing career at the youth academy at Olaria Atletico Clube before breaking into the first team in 2009. He made a spectacular impression on the top teams, catching the eye of Botafogo.

Botafogo decided to come in for his signature in 2010 and Ribeiro signed up with the club only to be sent out on loan. After playing just two games for the team in two years, Ribeiro will move back to Olaria, in 2012, to gain more playing experience.
