Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Adriano Martins represented Penapolense[1] and Vitória as a youth. He made his senior debut with Bonsucesso in the 2018 Campeonato Carioca Série B1.

Adriano began the 2019 season at Uberlândia. A regular starter, he scored twice in a 3–0 home win over Serranense [pt] on 5 May which sealed the club's promotion from the Campeonato Mineiro Módulo II.[2] In July of that year, he joined Francana.[3]

Novorizontino

[edit]

Adriano moved to Novorizontino ahead of the 2020 campaign,[4] but featured rarely in the club's consecutive promotions from the Série D to the Série B. On 16 December 2021, he was announced on loan at Paraná,[5] but the move was cancelled late in the month.

On 4 February 2022, Adriano returned to Uberlândia on loan for the remainder of the 2022 Campeonato Mineiro.[6] After only three matches, he returned to his parent club, but did not feature in any matches for the remainder of the year.

Adriano became a starter for Tigre during the 2023 season, helping in their promotion from the Campeonato Paulista Série A2 and becoming a key unit in the 2023 Série B.[7][8]

Atlético Goianiense

[edit]

On 5 January 2024, after being heavily linked to Corinthians, Adriano signed with fellow Série A side Atlético Goianiense.[9]
