Marco André da Silva Lopes Matias (born 10 May 1989) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for English club Sheffield Wednesday as a forward.
Club career
Born in Barreiro, Setúbal District, Matias finished his youth career at Sporting Clube de Portugal.[1][2] He never represented the first team officially as a senior, being consecutively loaned to Varzim SC,[3] C.D. Fátima[4] and Real Sport Clube, with all the clubs but the third competing in the Segunda Liga.[5]
Matias signed with Vitória S.C. in the 2010 summer, being immediately loaned to S.C. Freamunde in the second level for two years.[6] He subsequently returned to Guimarães, making his debut in the Primeira Liga on 19 August 2012 by coming on as a 62nd minute substitute in a 0–0 home draw against Sporting,[7] and finished his first season with 20 scoreless appearances.
Matias scored his first goal in the main category of Portuguese football on 31 August 2013, but in a 1–4 home loss to Vitória de Setúbal.[8] On 19 July 2014 he joined fellow league side C.D. Nacional,[9] netting 21 times from 42 competitive games to help the Madeirans to the seventh position.[10][11][12]
In July 2015, Matias signed a four-year deal with Championship club Sheffield Wednesday.[13] His first goal came in his fourth league appearance on 22 August, the 1–1 draw against Leeds United – a volley from 18 yards that flew in off the underside of the bar.[14][15]
International career
Matias gained five caps for the Portuguese under-21 team. His first came on 11 July 2009, as he played the full 90 minutes in a 0–1 loss against Cape Verde for the Lusophony Games.[16]
