Marco Tilio, born on 23 August 2001 and currently 23 years old, is a native of Australia and a forward specialising as a left winger for Melbourne City. He stands at a height of 5ft 6in (1.7m) and weighs in at 10st 7lb (67kg). He dons the number 23 jersey and in addition to his club contributions, has earned recognition with the Australia U23 national team.
Tilio's current market value is estimated to be around £675k, a valuation proposed by Transfermarkt. His existing contract with Melbourne City is due to expire on the 30th of June, 2025, giving him approximately five months of play left with this club.
His career started at Sydney FC in the A-League in Australia, which he joined in July 2018. During his inaugural season (2019 - 2020) with Sydney FC, Tilio made his mark with three first team appearances and one goal. The following September in 2020, Tilio transferred from Sydney FC to Melbourne City.
His time at Melbourne City from seasons 2020 - 2024 saw Tilio make progressively more appearances with varying numbers of goals. His best season in terms of goal scoring was 2022 - 2023, where he made a total of 26 appearances and scored nine goals. Currently, in season 2024 - 2025 at Melbourne City, Tilio has made six first team appearances and netted one goal.
In the midst of this, July 2023 saw Tilio leave Australian soil and make a move to Scotland, transferring from Melbourne City to Celtic in the Premiership for a sizeable fee of around £1.1m.
His time at the esteemed Celtic was brief, yet memorable. In season 2023 - 2024 at Celtic, Tilio made two first team appearances. His tenure, although short-lived, allowed him to exhibit his skills on a different stage, in a different league entirely.
Tilio's journey then took a turn back to familiar grounds as he was loaned out to his previous club, Melbourne City in February 2024, where he presently remains, continuing his forward strides in Australia’s A-League.
