How old was Ronaldo when he joined a club? ›

Cristiano Ronaldo joined Sporting CP's youth academy at age 12 and was promoted to the first team by manager László Bölöni at age 16. He became the first player to represent the club's under-16, under-17, under-18, B team, and first team within a single season.

He made his professional debut against Braga and scored his first goal in a 3-0 win over Moreirense. Since then he has represented Manchester United (2006-09) (2021-22), Real Madrid (2009-18), Juventus (2018-21) and Al Nassr FC.

As a child, Ronaldo played for Andorinha from 1992 to 1995, where his father was the kit man, and later spent two years with Nacional.
