Renato João Saleiro Santos (born 5 October 1991) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Boavista F.C. as a forward.

Football career

Born in Estarreja, Aveiro District, Santos played youth football for two clubs, including Sporting Clube de Portugal from ages 11–18. Having signed with Rio Ave F.C. in the 2010 summer, he was successively loaned to Moreirense F.C. and C.D. Aves, with both sides competing in the Segunda Liga.

Santos returned to the Estádio dos Arcos for the 2013–14 season, making his debut in the Primeira Liga on 28 September 2013 when he came as a 61st-minute substitute in a 0–3 home loss against C.D. Nacional. In January 2015 he was once again loaned to a second level team, contributing with 11 starts as C.D. Tondela promoted to the top flight for the first time in its history.

On 31 August 2015, Boavista signed free agent Santos to a three-year contract.[1] He played 29 games across all competitions in his first year, scoring four goals.

Firmly established in the starting XI under both Erwin Sánchez and his successor Miguel Leal, Santos netted from spectacular efforts to help to away wins over Rio Ave (2–1, 6 November 2016)[2] and C.D. Nacional (2–0, 22 December).[3] Late in the year, he agreed to a new two-year deal.[4]
