André Filipe Brás André (born 26 August 1989) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for FC Porto as a midfielder.

Club career

Born in Vila do Conde, André was brought up at FC Porto and Varzim SC. He made his senior debuts with the latter in 2008, scoring six goals in 49 second division games in two seasons combined.

In the first half of the 2010–11 campaign, André joined Deportivo de La Coruña B in Spain on a 2+2 contract,[1] suffering relegation from the third level (only three matches played), a fate which also befell his previous team. He returned to Varzim in January 2011.

In 2011–12, André netted 12 times from his midfield position to help Varzim return to division two after just one year,[2] even though the team could not eventually promote due to irregularities. In the off-season, he signed with Vitória S.C. in the Primeira Liga.

André scored 11 goals in the 2014–15 season – eight from penalties[3]– as the Minho Province club finished fifth and qualified to the UEFA Europa League. Highlights included a hat-trick in a 4–0 home win against C.D. Nacional, on 4 January 2015.[4]

André returned to Porto in June 2015 after eight years, agreeing to a four or five-year deal.[5] In late September, in two home games separated by nine days, he scored his first competitive goals with the club, helping to wins over S.L. Benfica (1–0) and Chelsea (2–1), the latter for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.[6][7]

International career

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.[8]

André scored his first goal on 17 November 2015, finishing Vieirinha's cross to open a 2–0 win over Luxembourg at the Stade Josy Barthel.[9]

Personal life

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.[10]
