Career

Early career

Born in Belford Roxo, Rio de Janeiro, Marcinho represented Coritiba's youth setup before being spotted by scouts of Novo Hamburgo in 2015.[1] He made his senior debut for the latter on 1 February 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–2 Campeonato Gaúcho home draw against Aimoré.

Marcinho scored his first senior goal on 4 February 2015, netting a last-minute winner in a 2–1 away defeat of Juventude. He finished the tournament with three goals in 14 appearances.

Internacional

Loans to Ypiranga and Brasil de Pelotas

In the middle of 2015, Marcinho joined Internacional and was assigned to the under-20 squad. On 30 August 2016, he was loaned to Ypiranga-RS until the end of the year's Série C.[2]

On 19 January 2017, Marcinho was loaned to Série B side Brasil de Pelotas for one year.[3] A regular starter, he contributed with five league goals in 32 appearances.

2018 season

On 22 December 2017, Marcinho renewed his contract until 2020 and returned to his parent club for the ensuing campaign.[4] He made his first team debut for the club the following 21 January, starting in a 3–0 away defeat of former side Novo Hamburgo.

After the arrivals of Jonathan Álvez and Paolo Guerrero, Marcinho, who was already a backup option, was not utilized by manager Odair Hellmann.

Loan to Fortaleza

On 22 May 2018, Marcinho was loaned to Fortaleza in the second division, until the end of the campaign.[5] He contributed with three goals in 25 appearances as his side returned to the top tier after a 13-year absence, and announced his departure from the club on 2 January 2019.[6]

On 7 February 2019, however, Marcinho rejoined the club on loan until the end of the year.[7]

On 13 August 2021, Kawasaki Frontale announced the signing of Marcinho.[8]
