Marco Tilio, born on 23 August 2001 (currently 24 years old) in Australia, is an Australian international and professional footballer. Showing prowess as a forward, primarily on the right wing, he currently demonstrates his talent on the field for Rapid Vienna. Tilio strides the pitch at 1.7m (5ft 6in) tall, he weighs 67kg (10st 7lb), and in the manner of the greatest, wears the number 7 jersey.
His career has seen a steady climb in valuation, reaching a tidy sum of roughly €1.30m. According to Transfermarkt, this figure quite rightly reflects his standing in the football industry.
Tilio began his professional career at Sydney FC in the A-League in Australia in July 2018, where he made his first-team debut in the 2019-2020 season. Despite only making three appearances, he managed to tuck away a goal.
In September 2020, a move to Melbourne City offered him more first-team opportunities. Tilio began to establish himself more firmly on the score sheet over the next few seasons, managing 20 appearances and a goal in his first season (2020-2021), followed by 22 appearances and four goals in his second (2021-2022). In the 2022-2023 season, he further impressed by scoring nine goals in 26 matches. Although managing fewer appearances in his following seasons, he still managed respectable goal returns, setting his stock on a steady rise.
July 2023 brought the Celtic chapter in his career. A move executed at a cost of approximately £1.1m. His time at Celtic was rather brief, with only two first-team appearances in league matches in the 2023-2024 season.
A move on loan back to Melbourne City in February 2024 allowed Tilio to once again garnish his stats with regular first team appearances and goals. His performances appeared to mirror his previous stint at Melbourne City, with respectable goal returns and steady appearances.
A transfer in August 2025 valued at around £1.3m, saw Tilio trade Celtic and the Premiership in Scotland for Rapid Vienna in the Bundesliga in Austria. Here he continues his career, having made ten first-team appearances and scored one goal so far in the current 2025-2026 season. He also got his taste of continental football, featuring in the Conference League 2025 - 2026 for Rapid Vienna with an appearance as a substitute.
Despite his relatively brief time at Celtic, Tilio's career keeps on a promising trajectory, with his performance analyses echoing praise for his character on the pitch. His current season at Rapid Vienna looks set to continue this positive trend.
