Club career
After leaving Lynx, Ruiz spent a season at Manchester 62. In a disappointing season for the club, Ruiz played a central role in midfield and was spotted by ambitious newly promoted side Mons Calpe in 2016. However, despite making 20 appearances in the league, he left the club as the MCSC ownership opted to overhaul their squad, joining Glacis United on 18 August 2017. He moved to Gibraltar Phoenix in January 2019, making his debut in a 2-0 defeat to former club Mons Calpe on 7 January 2019.[1] However, in August 2019 he returned to the Calpeans.[2]
Futsal career
Ruiz is also an active footballer in Gibraltar's futsal league, playing as a forward for Lynx futsal in their UEFA Futsal League campaigns.[3]
