Ricardo Manuel Ferreira Sousa (born 21 December 1981), known as Cadú, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Leixões S.C. as a central defender.
He amassed Primeira Liga totals of 121 games and seven goals over the course of five seasons, with Paços de Ferreira, Boavista (two apiece) and Gil Vicente. He spent the vast majority of his career in Romania with CFR Cluj, appearing in nearly 250 official matches and winning eight major titles.
Born in Paços de Ferreira, Cadú began playing professionally with Gondomar SC, in the Portuguese third division, his solid performances earning him a transfer straight to the Primeira Liga as he signed with another side in the north, F.C. Paços de Ferreira, in the 2002 summer. In his second season he started in 27 of the 28 matches he appeared in, but his team was relegated after ranking second from bottom.
After Paços' relegation, Cadú joined Boavista FC, also being an automatic first-choice – 30 games, two goals– in his first year, with the Porto-based club ranking in sixth position.
After two seasons Cadú signed with CFR Cluj from Romania, penning a three-year deal for €750.000. He scored once in 25 matches in his debut season, helping his new club to the third place in Liga I.
