Élio Bruno Teixeira Martins (born 26 March 1985) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for C.F. União as a winger or forward.

Football career

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

On 27 June 2012 Élio signed with PFC Beroe Stara Zagora in Bulgaria, on a three-year contract.[1] In his first season he scored seven goals 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.
