Marc Crosas, born in Spain on 9 January 1988, is a hardened midfielder, predominantly slotting in the central defensive midfielder role for his team, Tampico Madero. With a stature of 1.73m (5ft 8in) and weighing 69kg (10st 12lb), his physical presence is far from negligible on the field.
His professional journey kick-started in July 2002, when he entered the Barcelona youth system in the LaLiga. Subsequently, in January 2008, he moved from Barcelona to Lyon in the Ligue 1 in France, gaining experience with eight appearances in his debut season.
It was August 2008 when Celtic called and 'Crosas' joined the mighty green and white of the Premiership in Scotland. Having transferred for an estimated fee of £420k, Crosas quickly adapted to the pace and grit of Scottish football. During his debut season in 2008 - 2009 at Celtic, he made a commendable 18 appearances, scoring one goal. The following season, despite dipping a tad to 17 appearances, he remained an integral part of the squad, his performances remarkably consistent. However, in season 2010 - 2011, sheeting just one appearance, his time at Celtic began to taper off, much to the dismay of the faithful Celtic support.
In February 2011, Crosas bid adieu to Celtic and our beloved Scottish Premiership, transferring to Volga Nizhny Novgorod in the Russian National League for a rounded fee of £300k. In the 2011 - 2012 season, he made 26 first team appearances proving his worth to his new Russian employers.
His career took an exciting turn in January 2012 when he darted from Russia to Santos Laguna in the Liga MX in Mexico. Spanning three seasons, Crosas played a crucial role for Santos Laguna, making a staggering 58 appearances over this period.
Thereafter, he abode a series of transfers within Mexico, first moving to Leones Negros in July 2014 where he made 34 appearances, and then to Cruz Azul in July 2015 with seven appearances to his name. A brief stint back to his birth country followed, with Crosas joining Tenerife in the Segunda División, Spain on loan in July 2016 and making 14 appearances across the season.
In January 2017, he was on the move again, transferring from Cruz Azul to Tampico Madero, back in Mexico, where his journey presently continues. Despite no appearances in the 2024 - 2025 season, Crosas's career remains a testament to his tenacity and continuous will to explore new frontiers in football.
