In Their Own Story

In February 2004, Ricardinho returned to Europe on a short-term basis, signing for Middlesbrough for the rest of the Premier League season. He reunited with compatriots Juninho Paulista and Doriva at the club. Despite manager Steve McClaren suggesting he would make the first team for a game against Newcastle United after playing one reserve match against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Ricardinho only ever made the substitutes' bench once, against Chelsea. He was released on 22 April after complaining about his lack of playing time; McClaren later clarified that he had been signed specifically to cover injuries and suspensions that had since passed.
