Career
He spent most of his career in Cyprus, arriving in the country in 2007. Born in Lisbon, Marques joined local Sporting Clube de Portugal"s youth ranks at the age of 11, but could never appear for his hometown"s first team, only appearing with the reserves in the third division and being loaned twice. In 2006, released by the Lions, he signed with Ethnikos Piraeus F.C. in the Greek second level but, unsettled, returned to his country in the following transfer window, joining Communicative Disorders Olivais e Moscavide in division two, being regularly used during his four-month spell but suffering relegation.
Marques signed for APOP Kinyras Football Club during the summer of 2007.
In November of the following year he tested positive in a doping test following a match against Anorthosis Famagusta Football Club played on 31 October, alongside compatriot Lionel Medeiros. CFA"s Judiciary Committee imposed a one-year ban on the player, starting from day he sampled, but eventually took into consideration his cooperation, with Marques showing coach Eduard Eranosyan to be solely responsible for his positive test.
In early February 2011 Marques changed teams but stayed in Cyprus, signing for AEL Limassol. Between the under-17 and the under-21s, Marques represented Portugal in 26 games.
