André Renato Soares Martins (born 21 January 1990 in Santa Maria da Feira, Aveiro District) is a Portuguese professional footballer who last played for Sporting Clube de Portugal as a central midfielder.

Club career

After graduating from Sporting Clube de Portugal's youth academy Martins was loaned out, along with six other former Sporting juniors, to Real Sport Clube in the third division.[1][2] For the 2010–11 campaign, newly appointed coach Paulo Sérgio called him back for pre-season trainings, and, in August, he was sent to C.F. Os Belenenses in the second level, in a season-long loan; however, after José Mota's arrival at Belenenses' bench, the player was deemed surplus to requirements, and another loan was arranged in January 2011, at C.D. Pinhalnovense in division three.

Mainly due to injuries to teammates, Martins featured in Sporting's bench in some matches in 2011–12. On 20 October 2011, he made his official debut for the Lions, coming on as a substitute for Diego Capel for the last 15 minutes of a 2–0 home win against FC Vaslui, in the season's UEFA Europa League.[3]

International career

Martins gained 43 caps for Portugal at youth level, including 17 for the under-21 team. On 10 June 2013, he made his debut for the full side, playing the dying minutes of the 1–0 exhibition game win with Croatia in Geneva;[4] on 14 August, again in a friendly, he replaced Rúben Amorim midway through the second half of a 1–1 draw against the Netherlands.[5]
