Andre Filipe Bras Andre (born 26 August 1989) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Vitoria S.C. as a midfielder.
After starting his career at Varzim, he made over 200 Primeira Liga appearances for Vitoria de Guimaraes and Porto, winning a league title with the latter in 2018.
Club Career
Varzim
Born in Vila do Conde, Andre 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, Andre joined Deportivo de La Coruna B in Spain on a 2+2 contract,suffering relegation from the third tier (only three appearances), a fate which also befell his previous team. He returned to Varzim in January 2011.
Andre netted 12 times from his midfield position in 2011–12, to help Varzim return to division two after just one year. No promotion eventually befell, however, due to irregularities.
V. Guimaraes
In summer 2012, Andre signed with Vitoria S.C. of the Primeira Liga. In his first year, he contributed five scoreless appearances in the Taca de Portugal as the club won the competition for the first time in its history. 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.
Andre scored 11 goals in the 2014–15 season – eight from penalties– as the Minho Province side 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.
Porto
Andre returned to Porto in June 2015 after eight years, agreeing to a four or five-year deal. 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.
