Andrés David Madrid (born 29 July 1981) is an Argentine footballer who plays for C.D. Nacional in Portugal, as a defensive midfielder.
[edit] 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 first division with Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, in the 2000–01 season.
In January 2005, Madrid moved to Portugal, joining Sporting Clube de Braga in the top division. His league debut took place on 4 February, in a derby 0–1 away loss against Vitória de Guimarães, as he went on to become an essential figure for the Minho squad, as it 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 F.C. Porto, which had the possibility of making the move permanent at the season's end.[1] He made his debut for the new club on 7 March, playing 20 minutes in a 4–1 win at Leixões SC, and contributed with six appearances – although only one complete – as the Dragões collected a fourth consecutive league title, subsequently returning to Braga.
In the following years, Madrid's importance in Braga gradually diminished, and he was released by the club in 31 August 2011.[2] On 27 September, he signed a one-year contract with fellow league side C.D. Nacional.[3]
