Club career edit
Varzim edit
Born in Vila do Conde, André was brought up at FC Porto and Varzim SC. He made his senior debut with the latter in 2008, going on to total six goals in 49 second division games over two seasons.
In the first half of the 2010–11 campaign, André joined Deportivo de La Coruña B in Spain on a 2+2 contract,[2] suffering relegation from the third tier (only three appearances), a fate which also befell his previous team. He returned to Varzim in January 2011.[3]
André netted 12 times from his midfield position in 2011–12, to help Varzim return to division two after just one year.[4] No promotion eventually befell, however, due to irregularities.
Vitória Guimarães edit
In summer 2012, André signed with Vitória S.C. of the Primeira Liga.[5] In his first year, he contributed five scoreless appearances in the Taça de Portugal as the club won the competition for the first time in its history.[6] On 27 April 2014, he was one of four first-teamers parachuted into the B team for a crucial 2–1 home win over promotion rivals F.C. Vizela.[7]
André scored 11 goals in the 2014–15 season – eight from penalties[8]– as the Minho Province side finished fifth and qualified for the UEFA Europa League. Highlights included a hat-trick in a 4–0 home win against C.D. Nacional, on 4 January 2015.[9]
Porto edit
André returned to Porto in June 2015 after eight years, agreeing to a four or five-year deal.[10] In late September, in two home games separated by nine days, he scored his first competitive goals with the club, helping to victories over S.L. Benfica (1–0) and Chelsea (2–1), the latter in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.[11][12]
In the 2017–18 campaign, André played 13 matches to help his team win the national championship after a five-year wait.[13]
Return to Vitória edit
André returned to Guimarães on 4 July 2018.[14] On his debut on 10 August, he scored in a 3–2 loss at Benfica,[15] and fifteen days later on his return to the Estádio do Dragão, he netted a penalty as his team overturned a half-time deficit to beat Porto 3–2.[16]
On 21 March 2021, André extended his contract at the Estádio D. Afonso Henriques up to June 2024.[17] The following January, however, he was loaned to Saudi Professional League club Al-Ittihad Club (Jeddah) with a €1 million buying option.[18]
International career edit
André represented Portugal at under-19 level. He made his debut with the full side on 31 March 2015, coming on as a 66th-minute substitute for Adrien Silva in a 0–2 friendly defeat against Cape Verde in Estoril.[19]
André scored his only goal on 17 November 2015, finishing Vieirinha's cross to open a 2–0 win over Luxembourg at the Stade Josy Barthel.[20]
Personal life edit
André's father, António, was also a footballer and a midfielder. He represented Porto for more than one decade, and appeared with Portugal at the 1986 FIFA World Cup.[21]
