Born in Póvoa de Varzim, Ramos joined FC Porto's youth system at the age of 13, from local Varzim SC. He made his senior debut with the former's B team, going on to spend several seasons with them in the Segunda Liga.
Ramos' maiden appearance with the main squad took place on 20 January 2016, in a 1–0 away loss against F.C. Famalicão in the group stage of the Taça da Liga.[2][3] His first game in the Primeira Liga occurred on 12 March, as he came as an 88th-minute substitute for Vincent Aboubakar in a 3–2 home win over C.F. União.[4]
Ramos was supposed to join G.D. Chaves on loan for the 2016–17 campaign. Following a left-foot injury contracted during the Summer Olympics, however, the move was aborted.[5]
On 30 June 2017, Ramos signed a contract with fellow league club Vitória de Guimarães.[6] He spent the better part of the following two seasons on loan to C.D. Santa Clara, also of the Portuguese top division.[7][8]
On 28 September 2020, Ramos signed a three-year deal with C.D. Nacional.[9] The following 30 January, he scored his first top-flight goal to decide a 2–1 home victory over F.C. Famalicão;[10] the season ended in relegation.
Ramos represented Portugal at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He played all the matches save one in New Zealand, helping his country reach the quarter-finals.[11]
Ramos won his first cap for the under-21 side on 12 November 2015, featuring the second 45 minutes of the 4–0 victory against Albania in Arouca for the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers.[12]
