André Renato Soares Martins (born 21 January 1990 in Santa Maria da Feira) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Sporting Clube de Portugal as a central midfielder.
Football career
After graduating from Sporting Clube de Portugal's youth academy, Martins was loaned out, alongside with nine other former Sporting juniors, to Real Sport Clube, in the third division.[1][2]
For 2010–11, newly appointed coach Paulo Sérgio called him back for pre-season trainings. 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 at the club, and Sporting arranged another loan 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, replacing Diego Capel for the last 15 minutes of a 2–0 home win against FC Vaslui, in the season's UEFA Europa League.[3]
