Andrés David Madrid (born 29 July 1981) is an Argentine retired footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.
He spent most of his professional career in Portugal, mainly with Braga.
Football career
Born in Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires Province, Madrid started playing football in the youth ranks of Club Atlético Platense, making his professional debuts in 1998. He would first appear in the Argentine Primera División with Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, in the 2000–01 season.
In January 2005, Madrid moved to Portugal, joining S.C. Braga in the Primeira Liga. His league debut took place on 4 February in a derby 0–1 away loss against Vitória de Guimarães, and he went on to become an essential figure for the Minho side as they achieved three consecutive fourth-places, with the respective UEFA Cup qualification.
However, after some injury problems, Madrid fell out of favour in Braga and, during the 2009 January transfer window, joined former coach Jesualdo Ferreira at FC Porto, which had the possibility of making the move permanent at the end of the campaign.[1] He made his first appearance for his new team on 7 March by playing 20 minutes in a 4–1 win at Leixões SC, and contributed with six appearances – although only one complete – to help the Dragons collect a fourth consecutive league title, subsequently returning to Braga.
In the following years, Madrid's importance gradually diminished, and he was released by the club on 31 August 2011.[2] On 27 September, he signed a one-year contract with fellow league side C.D. Nacional.[3]
Madrid signed with C.R.D. Libolo in November 2012, thus becoming the first Argentine footballer to play in the Angolan league.[4] Following a poor individual season, he returned to Portugal for a trial with S.C. Olhanense,[5] being released shortly after.[6]
