Cédric Ricardo Alves Soares (born 31 August 1991), known simply as Cédric (Portuguese pronunciation: ['sɛdɾik]), is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a right back for English club Southampton and the Portugal national team.

His career started with Sporting, going on to appear in 94 competitive games over the course of four Primeira Liga seasons and scoring two goals. He signed for Southampton in 2015.

Having earned 72 caps across all youth levels, Cédric made his senior debut for Portugal in 2014. He appeared for the country at Euro 2016.

Club career

Sporting

Born in Singen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany to Portuguese immigrants, Cédric returned to his parents' country at the age of two.[1][2] He joined Sporting Clube de Portugal's youth system in 1999, aged eight.

Cédric made his Primeira Liga debut with the first team on 8 May 2011, starting in a 0–1 home loss against Vitória de Setúbal. For 2011–12 he, alongside teammate Adrien Silva, was loaned to fellow top division club Académica de Coimbra,[3] where he played regularly and won that season's Taça de Portugal, playing the full 90 minutes in the 1–0 triumph against precisely Sporting.[4]

Subsequently Cédric returned to the Lisbon side, being first-choice in the following years under several managers.[5] In the domestic cup final on 31 May 2015, against S.C. Braga, he was sent off in the 14th minute after conceding a penalty with a foul on Djavan, but Sporting eventually won in a shootout.[6]

Southampton

On 18 June 2015, Cédric was announced as the second summer signing for Southampton on a four-year contract,[7] with the English club paying up to €6.5 million (£4.7 million) for his services.[8][9] He made his debut on 30 July, playing the full 90 minutes in a 3–0 win over Vitesse Arnhem at St. Mary's Stadium for the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League.[10] Ten days later he first appeared in the Premier League, assisting the opening goal for Graziano Pellè in an eventual 2–2 draw at Newcastle United before being substituted for Cuco Martina at half time.[11]

International career

Cédric gained 72 caps for Portugal at youth level, including ten for the under-21s. His maiden appearance with the senior team occurred on 11 October 2014, as he started in a 1–2 friendly defeat to France in Paris.[12][13]
