André Alexandre Carreira Sousa (born 9 July 1990) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for C.D. Nacional.
Born in Moita, Setúbal District, Sousa played youth football for three clubs, including Sporting CP from ages 13 to 17.[2] He made his senior debut in the third division, first with Odivelas F.C. then F.C. Pampilhosa.
Sousa moved to the Primeira Liga on 26 July 2011, after signing a three-year contract with S.C. Beira-Mar.[3] He was immediately loaned to S.C. Covilhã from the Segunda Liga, making his competitive debut on by starting and being sent off at the hour mark of a 4−0 home win against Caldas S.C. in the second round of the Taça de Portugal.[4]
Returned to the Estádio Mário Duarte for 2012−13, Sousa's first match in the Portuguese top flight took place on 22 September 2012, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 4−0 away loss to FC Porto.[5] It was only one of four league appearances during the season, which ended in relegation.
During the 2015 January transfer window, and with Beira-Mar immerse in a severe financial crisis − soon being relegated to the Aveiro regional championships[6] − Sousa left as a free agent and joined division two team Académico de Viseu FC.[7] He returned to the top tier in the ensuing off-season, signing with C.F. Os Belenenses.[8]
In his debut campaign with his new club, Sousa made 40 appearances in all competitions and scored two goals.[9] His first in the domestic league occurred on 27 September 2015, in a 2−2 draw at F.C. Arouca.[10]
Sousa agreed to a season-long loan at Sporting de Gijón from Spain on 4 July 2018.[11]
Sousa won two caps for the Portugal under-21 team, both in 2011. His first arrived on 31 May, when he played 14 minutes in a 4−2 friendly win over Germany in Portimão.[12]
