André Ferreira Teixeira (born 14 August 1993) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Cypriot club AEL Limassol as a centre back.

Football career[]

Born in Porto, Teixeira spent most of his youth in the ranks of hometown club FC Porto. In 2012 he moved to C.F. Os Belenenses, where he made his senior debut on 16 September in a 4–0 home win over F.C. Vizela in the second round of the Taça de Portugal; his Segunda Liga bow followed on 27 October in a 1–1 draw at Leixões SC.[2]

Teixeira spent the first half of 2013–14 loaned to Leixões.[3] On 2 February 2015, having still not made a Primeira Liga appearance for Belenenses, he was loaned back to the second tier with C.D. Trofense for the rest of the campaign.[4]

Teixeira was lent to C.D. Mafra for 2015–16, their first season since winning promotion as Campeonato de Portugal champions.[5] He played all but three games as they went straight back down, and scored his first professional goal on 21 November 2015 to equalise in a 1–1 home draw with Vitória S.C. B.[6] He spent the following season playing as regularly at Leixões, again on a temporary basis.[7]

In the summer of 2017, Teixeira left Portugal for the first time, to join AEL Limassol of the Cypriot First Division under compatriot manager Bruno Baltazar. The team won the national cup in 2018–19,[8] and he scored in an 8–0 (14–0 aggregate) win over ENTHOI Lakatamia in the second round on 30 January 2019.[9]
