Career

edit

Early career

edit

Andrade made his professional debut for São Caetano on 24 March 2012, in the Campeonato Paulista, coming off the bench at half-time to replace Isael in a 1–0 home defeat to Catanduvense.[1]

In August 2012, São Caetano sent Andrade on loan to J1 League club Vissel Kobe, where he struggled for game time.[2]

After returning from loan, Andrade played in Brazil's state championships for Grêmio Anápolis, Guarani and Rio Branco.[2]

Move to Portugal

edit

On 8 July 2015, Andrade moved to Portugal, signing a two-year contract with LigaPro side Oriental de Lisboa.[3]

On 6 July 2016, following Oriental's relegation to the Campeonato de Portugal, Andrade stayed in the Portuguese second division, signing a one-year contract with Penafiel.[4]

On 22 June 2017, Andrade signed a two-year contract with fellow Liga Pro club Santa Clara.[5] In his debut season, he scored 11 goals in 36 league appearances, helping the Azores-based side finish second, achieving promotion to the Primeira Liga.[6] The following season, Andrade started the campaign with 4 goals in 15 appearances in all competitions.[7]

Porto

edit

On 4 January 2019, Andrade joined Portuguese giants FC Porto, signing a contract until the summer of 2023,[8] for a reported fee of €1.5 million.[9] Three days later, he made his debut for the club, replacing Moussa Marega in the final minutes of a 3–1 victory over Nacional at the Estádio do Dragão.[10] On 22 January, in the semi-finals of the Taça da Liga, Andrade scored Porto's third goal in a 3–1 victory over rivals Benfica.[11] Four days later, in the tournament's final against rivals Sporting CP, he scored the opener in the 79th minute; however, Sporting went on to tie the match in stoppage time and beat the Dragons in a penalty shootout.[12] On 25 May 2019, in the final of the Taça de Portugal, also against Sporting CP, Andrade replaced Alex Telles during extra-time; when the game went to penalties after a 2–2 draw, he missed his penalty kick, leading to Porto's defeat.[13]

Loans

edit

On 9 August 2019, Porto sent Andrade on a season-long loan to Süper Lig club Sivasspor,[14] where he scored 7 goals and provided 2 assists in 29 appearances in all competitions.[15]

On 2 October 2020, Andrade was sent on another season-long loan to Turkey, this time to Çaykur Rizespor, also competing in the Süper Lig,[16] where he scored 2 goals in 30 appearances in all competitions.[17]

On 7 August 2021, Porto sent Andrade on a season-long loan to Saudi Pro League side Al Fayha,[18] with the Saudi club paying a €250.000 loan fee and keeping a €1 million option-to-buy.[19] However, four days later, in his debut, he suffered a serious knee injury. Andrade chose to underwent surgery and spend his recovery time at Porto.[20]

Return to Porto

edit

On 31 January 2022, still recovering from his knee injury, Andrade's loan to Al Fayha was cancelled and Porto registered him in their league squad.[21]

On 20 March, after seven months on the sidelines, Andrade started for Porto's B team in a 2–2 draw in the Liga Portugal 2 at home to Estrela da Amadora.[22]

On 14 May 2022, after FC Porto had already been crowned Primeira Liga champions the previous week, manager Sérgio Conceição gave Andrade a chance of playing in the league's final match, at home to Estoril, so he could receive a league medal; the Brazilian came on as a substitute in the 85th minute and scored just three minutes later, sealing a 2–0 Porto victory.[23]

During the 2022–23, Andrade didn't play a singe minute for either Porto or Porto B, only making the bench for the former once, being an unused substitute in a 1–0 home victory over Rio Ave.[24]

Casa Pia

edit

On 1 July 2023, after his contract with Porto had expired, Andrade signed a two-year deal with Primeira Liga club Casa Pia.[25][26]
