Football career

edit

Born in Figueira da Foz, Coimbra District, Marques played youth football with three clubs, including Sporting Clube de Portugal from ages 11–15. He moved abroad in 2006, going on to spend his last as a junior with Real Madrid.

In Spain, Marques never competed in higher than Segunda División B, representing Real Madrid C and CD San Roque de Lepe.[1] In the 2011–12 season, he did not feature for any team.

Marques returned to his country in the 2012 summer, signing with S.C. Farense in the third level. He changed sides and countries again in the following transfer window, going on to make his professional debut in the Angolan Girabola with C.R.D. Libolo and later playing with G.D. Interclube also in that nation.

On 31 March 2016, Marques agreed to a contract with Bulgarian club PFC Beroe Stara Zagora after a successful trial period.[2] He was released in December.[3]

In January 2017, Marques joined Gil Vicente.[4]
