Pedro Alves Correia (born 12 October 1999), known as Pedro Martelo, is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a striker for Irish club Sligo Rovers.

Club career

Born in Évora, Martelo joined S.L. Benfica's youth setup in 2012, after representing Lusitano G.C.[2] On 30 July 2016, he moved abroad and agreed to a four-year contract with Deportivo de La Coruña.[3]

Martelo made his senior debut with the reserves on 16 April 2017, coming on as a late substitute for Pinchi in a 1–0 Tercera División home win against Céltiga FC;[4] it was his only appearance of the campaign, as his side achieved promotion. He was definitely promoted to the B-side in July 2018, but only featured sparingly.

On 31 January 2019, Martelo joined S.C. Braga on a six-month loan deal, and was assigned to the B-team in LigaPro.[5] He made his professional debut on 19 April, replacing Denisson Silva in a 0–1 away loss against Varzim S.C.[6]

On 26 August 2020, Martelo signed a three-year deal with F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[7]

On 31 January 2021, Martelo moved to Spanish side Badajoz on a loan deal.[8]

On 9 September 2021, Paços de Ferreira loaned Martelo to Liga 3 club Amora.[9]

On 27 January 2022, Paços de Ferreira sent, for the second time that season, Martelo on loan to a Liga 3 club, this time São João de Ver.[10]

On 29 July 2022, it was reported that Martelo had terminated his contract with Paços de Ferreira by mutual agreement.[11]

On 2 August 2022, Martelo signed a one-year contract with recently-promoted to Liga 3 side Belenenses.[12] That season, he helped the club finish runners-up, earning promotion to the Liga Portugal 2.

On 13 July 2023, Irish club Sligo Rovers announced the signing of Martelo on a deal until the end of the 2023 season, with the option to extend the contract for a further year. Two days earlier, the striker had impressed on trial, in a friendly against Celtic B. He was handed the number 9 shirt.[13]

International career

Martelo was part of the Portugal side that won the 2018 UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Finland. He scored in the first two minutes of a 5–0 semi-final win over Ukraine,[14] and the extra-time winner in the 4–3 final victory over Italy.[15]

Personal life

Martelo's father Juary and his cousin Vítor are also footballers.[2] The former played as a defender while the latter plays as a winger, but both only played amateur football throughout their careers.
