Marco Tilio, hailing from Australia and born on the 23rd of August 2001, currently occupies the forward position for Melbourne City as a principal left winger. Standing at 5ft 6in (1.7m), and weighing 10st 7lb (67kg), this player carries the number 23 jersey with pride. In addition to his club football pursuits, Tilio has also donned the green and gold for the Australia U23 national team.
According to Transfermarkt, Tilio's market value is approximately £675k. His contract with Melbourne City is on a countdown, with just 1 month left until its expiration on the 30th of June 2025.
Tilio's journey into the professional league saw him signing with Sydney FC in the A-League down under, in July 2018. He debuted in the 2019 - 2020 season, making three top-tier appearances and securing one goal to his name. By September 2020, he transferred from Sydney FC to Melbourne City. Throughout his various seasons with Melbourne City, his tally includes 88 first team appearances with a commendable total of 20 goals.
The summer of 2023 brought about a change of scenery for Tilio, as he made the move to Celtic in the Premiership in Scotland. The transfer fee was reported to be around £1.1m. However, his time with the 'Hoops' was comparatively brief, seeing him make just two first team appearances in the league during the 2023 - 2024 season.
In February 2024, Tilio found himself returning to Melbourne City with the aid of a loan deal from Celtic. His performance at Melbourne City post-loan mirrors his previous performance with 88 first team appearances and a goal tally of 20 goals. In addition, he's had a hand in Melbourne City's Final Series 2024 - 2025 with three starts under his belt.
Though his time at Celtic was short-lived, Tilio’s career carries on apace in his native Australia, continuing to make his mark in the A-League with Melbourne City. His playing style, marked by an unapologetic drive towards the goal, continues to both thrill and invigorate fans.
