Evolved in youth academies of Groningen and FC Emmen, Margaritha joined Dutch fifth division side VV Hoogeveen ahead of 2019–20 Hoofdklasse season.[2] On 1 September 2019, he made his competitive debut for the team in a 3–0 loss against Alphense Boys.[3] He scored his first goal two weeks later in a 5–4 loss against Quick '20.[4]
On 9 January 2020, Hoogeveen announced the departure of Margaritha to Almere City.[5] However, it took almost two months to finalize the deal as he didn't have a contract with Hoogeveen.[6][7] On 6 September 2020, he scored his first professional goal in his team's 6–4 win against Excelsior.[8]

Born in Netherlands, Margaritha is eligible to play for Curaçao due to his heritage. In November 2020, Curaçao national team head coach Guus Hiddink named Margaritha in 23-man squad for one week's training camp.[9]
