Rui Miguel Teixeira Caetano (born 20 April 1991 in Paredes) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for F.C. Penafiel as a left winger.
Club career
Paços de Ferreira
Caetano joined FC Porto's youth system at the age of 13, being released in 2010[1] and joining F.C. Paços de Ferreira shortly after. He made his Primeira Liga debut on 14 August of that year, starting and assisting Mario Rondón for the game's only goal in a home win against Sporting Clube de Portugal.[2]
Caetano played 24 matches in the 2012–13 season (20 as a substitute, 606 minutes of action), as Paços finished a best-ever third and qualified to the UEFA Champions League for the first time in its history. He scored his only goal of the campaign on 28 April 2013, netting the final 2–2 at Vitória S.C. in the 88th minute.[3]
Gil Vicente
On 2 January 2014 Caetano signed for fellow top-divisioner Gil Vicente FC, penning a contract until June of the following year.[4]
Penafiel
On 17 August 2015, Caetano joined FC Penafiel as a free agent.[5]
International career
In 2009 although he was named in the squad for the qualifying tournament, where he netted against Macedonia, he was not called to the 2010 UEFA European Under-19 Championship. On 22 May 2011 Caetano was selected by the under-20s for the 2011 Toulon Tournament,[6] playing three games in an eventual group stage exit. He participated at the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Colombia, only missing two games out of seven as the nation finished in second place.[7][8]
Caetano made his debut for the under-21 team on 5 September 2011, in a friendly against France.
Caetano gained 43 caps for Portugal all youth categories comprised, scoring two goals.
