João Pedro Pinto Martins (born 20 June 1982 in Lisbon, Portugal) is an Angolan footballer who plays for F.C. Bravos do Maquis as a forward.

Football career

During his career in Portugal, spent in no higher than the second division and with little impact, Martins represented F.C. Alverca, Sporting Clube Lourinhanense, G.D. Chaves and G.D. Tourizense. In 2007 he first moved abroad, signing with Russia's FC Sibir Novosibirsk also in that level.

Martins then moved to nearby Latvia and joined FK Ventspils. However, after a few months, he was released from his contract^[1] and signed with C.D. Primeiro de Agosto; he continued playing in the land of his ancestors in the following years, appearing for C.R.D. Libolo and F.C. Bravos do Maquis.
