Andrade was born in Lisbon. After playing his youth football at Sporting Clube de Portugal he went on to represent G.D. Estoril Praia, C.F. Estrela da Amadora, C.F. Os Belenenses, S.L. Benfica (five years, with one season loaned to S.C. Braga),[4] Académica de Coimbra, C.D. Pinhalnovense, C.D. Olivais e Moscavide and Odivelas FC.

He amassed Portuguese top flight totals of 193 games and one goal, and was a member of the national side that competed at the 1996 Olympic Games, helping them reach the fourth place.[2]
