Club career

Born in Fão, Esposende, Portugal to an Angolan mother and a Mozambican father,[2] Marques played mainly lower league football in the country, joining FC Porto's youth system at the age of 16 and representing its reserves as a senior for three years. He appeared in six second division matches for Gil Vicente F.C. in the 2007–08 season, conceding 12 goals.

In 2011, Marques moved to Angola where he appeared for Kabuscorp S.C.P. and C.D. Primeiro de Agosto. He was awarded Angolan nationality shortly after.[3]

Marques returned to Portugal on 25 July 2016, signing a two-year contract with second-tier club S.C. Covilhã following a period of trial.[4] He left after only one year, however, joining S.C. Farense of the third level.[5]

Marques played all 24 games in the 2019–20 campaign (cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic), as the side from Algarve returned to the Primeira Liga after a 18-year absence.[6][7] He made his debut in the competition on 20 September 2020 when he came on as a second-half substitute for Rafael Defendi who had been sent off, in an eventual 0–2 away loss against Moreirense FC.[8]

International career

Marques was selected to the Angola squad that was due to appear in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.[9] He made no appearances in the tournament, in a group stage elimination.
