Élio Bruno Teixeira Martins (born 26 March 1985) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a winger or forward for Liga 1 club Bhayangkara .

Football career

Martins was born in Machico, Madeira. After years of playing in the lower leagues, especially with hometown club A.D. Machico, he reached the professionals in 2009–10, scoring six goals in 27 games as S.C. Beira-Mar promoted to the Primeira Liga as champions. After spending the first part of the 2010–11 campaign on loan to Cypriot team Doxa Katokopias F.C. he returned for a further two seasons in the top division, being all but played as a substitute.

On 27 June 2012, Martins signed with PFC Beroe Stara Zagora in Bulgaria, on a three-year contract.[1] In his first season he netted seven times in the Bulgarian Cup, including a brace in the final against PFC Levski Sofia: the match finished in a 3–3 draw, but Beroe won 3–1 on penalties.

Martins returned to his country in the summer of 2014, netting a career-best 14 goals in his first season at C.F. União to help them return to top flight after two decades. On 24 April 2017, the 32-year old left Lebanon's Al-Akhaa Al-Ahli Aley and joined PS TNI from the Liga 1 (Indonesia) on a one-year deal.[2]
