Ricardo Faty's football career began in the 2004-05 season of the Championnat de France Amateurs for RC Strasbourg, in which he played 27 matches and scored one goal. The following year he earned fourteen more caps in the CFA, along with twelve matches for RC Strasbourg's professional squad, five being in cup competition. His Ligue 1 debut was on October 29, 2005
Due to RC Strasbourg's relegation to Ligue 2 and Olivier Dacourt's departure from Roma to F.C. Internazionale Milano, Faty was signed to Roma for a fee of 350,000 Euros for a five-year contract.
Made his Champion's League debut against Olympiacos at the Karaiskákis Stadium. Was given the job to constantly mark Rivaldo and Roma won the match 1-0.
Due to his good form in serie A, he has attracted the interest of Newcastle United, who are currently struggling to put a starting eleven out due to injuries.
