André Lima  André Luiz Barreto Silva Lima (born 3 May 1985 in Rio de Janeiro), commonly known as André Lima, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Austin Bold. He plays as a striker. Lima was a youth player with Vasco da Gama until 2004 when he joined the senior team. Lima played for various teams in Brazil, as well as Germinal Beerschot in Belgium, before joining Botafogo. He was the joint top-scorer for Botafogo for the 2007 Copa do Brasil, in which they lost in the semifinal. On 28 August 2007, Lima signed a four year contract with Bundesliga side Hertha BSC with a transfer fee of €3.5 million. In Lima's first season, he played 16 games, scoring two goals. Lima was the third choice striker for Hertha coach Lucien Favre, and struggled in his first season. As a result, Lima was sent on loan to São Paulo on 28 June 2008 for a year long loan. Lima would go on to be loaned to several additional Brazilian sides. This included scoring 14 goals across all competitions for Botafogo in their 2009 season. However, general manager Michael Preetz indicated that Hertha already had two strikers and were looking for a team to buy Lima. Lima would be loaned out again, this time to Grêmio, where he would play for three years. On 17 February 2013, Lima was signed by Chinese Super League side Beijing Guoan. After leaving Beijing Guoan, he would continue to play in the Brazilian first division, playing for Avaí FC, Atlético Paranaense, and Vitória. On 24 January 2019, Lima joined Austin Bold FC of the USL Championship.
