André Filipe Saraiva Martins (born 26 March 1987 in Ferreira do Alentejo, Beja) is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a forward.
Football career
After starting his football formation at local Sporting Clube Ferreirense, Martins finished it at C.F. Os Belenenses and Associação Naval 1º de Maio. In the 2006–07 season he trained briefly with the first team of the latter, but eventually did not make his Primeira Liga debuts.
Subsequently, Martins' career took him to several countries and leagues: in the 2007 summer he had an unsuccessful trial in Scotland with Dundee United, then played a couple of months in England with Fulham's reserves.
In the following years Martins represented, in quick succession, PFC Vidima-Rakovski Sevlievo in Bulgaria, Chiapas in Mexico, Venezuela's Caracas F.C. and Club Bolívar from Bolivia. In early 2010, he was loaned to Finnish side IFK Mariehamn.
In early 2012 Martins signed with Syrianska FC in the Swedish Allsvenskan for six months, being released shortly after however. In November of that year he joined Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Scottish Premier League, but left the following month after only one appearance as an unused substitute.
