Marco Tilio, born 23 August 2001, hails from Australia. He is known as a forward who primarily plays as a left winger for Melbourne City. Tilio, measuring in at 5ft 6in (1.7m) tall and weighing 10st 7lb (67kg), sports the number 23 jersey. Besides his club efforts, Tilio has represented Australia at the U23 level.
Notably his current market value sits around £667k, as reported by Transfermarkt. Tilio remains contracted with Melbourne City for three more months, with the deal set to expire on 30 June 2025.
Tilio's professional journey began in July 2018, when he signed for Sydney FC in Australia's A-League. During the debut 2019-2020 season, Tilio made a ripple in three first team appearances and netting one goal in league matches. September 2020 saw a shift, as Tilio transferred to Melbourne City, also in the A-League, from Sydney FC.
While at Melbourne for the 2020-2021 season, his appearances increased to 20, and saw him score a single league goal. This ramped up in the 2021-2022 season, with 22 first team appearances and four league goals. His performance peaked in the 2022-2023 season with 26 first team outings and nine league goals. The 2023-2024 season was quieter, contributing a goal in four appearances. Currently, in the 2024-2025 season, Tilio has made 13 initial appearances, striking four goals into the back of the net.
July 2023 marked a significant point in Tilio's career when he transferred from Melbourne City to Celtic, in Scotland's Premiership, for a fee of around £1.1m. His time at Celtic was brief and relatively quiet, with Tilio making two first team appearances in league matches during the 2023-2024 season.
However, his relationship with Celtic would not be left to rest. By February 2024, Tilio found himself temporarily returning back to Melbourne City, this time on loan from Celtic. Since then, his journey mirrors his previous stints at Melbourne: adding 20 appearances and a goal in the 2020-2021 season, 22 appearances and four goals in the 2021-2022 season, and so on, peaking at the same times. Currently, in this 2024-2025 season, Tilio continues to perform for Melbourne City, having made another 13 first team appearances and scored four league goals.
