Marco Tilio, born on 23 August 2001, currently aged 23, is an Australian-born footballer who prefers to ply his trade as a left winger for Melbourne City. Standing at a modest 5 feet 6 inches (1.7m) and weighing around 10 stone 7 pounds (67kg), Tilio's combination of agility and skill has seen him assume the number 23 jersey for his club. He has also made appearances for Australia at the U23 level, adding to his considerable footballing repute.
As of now, Tilio is valued at approximately £1m, as confirmed by Transfermarkt. Furthermore, his current contract with Melbourne City nears its conclusion, with only 7 months remaining, making him a free agent by 30 June 2025.
Tilio began his notable football journey in July 2018, signing for Sydney FC in Australia's A-League. His debut season, namely 2019 - 2020, saw him making three appearances for the first team and scoring his first league goal. September 2020 marked a significant period in Tilio's career where he switched allegiances from Sydney FC to Melbourne City. His tenure at Melbourne has seen him appear consistently for the club across various seasons, with his goal scoring tally peaking at nine goals in the 2022 - 2023 season. So far, in the ongoing 2024 - 2025 season, Tilio has managed to make three appearances and score a goal.
The second half of 2023 witnessed a crucial moment in Tilio's career journey when he secured a transfer to Celtic, the Scottish Premiership giant, for a fee of around £1.1m. Despite the grandeur of his new club, Tilio's stint was relatively short-lived, managing only two appearances for Celtic's first team in the 2023 - 2024 season.
February 2024 saw Tilio retracing his steps back to Australia, this time on loan from Celtic to Melbourne City. Tilio continued his old form with Melbourne City, making numerous first team appearances and adding to his goal tally. Most recently, in the current 2024 - 2025 season, Tilio has made three appearances for Melbourne City and chalked up a goal to his name.
