Márcio Ivanildo da Silva, commonly known as Marcinho (born 25 March 1981 in Petrolândia, Pernambuco), is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Clube Atlético Sorocaba as an attacking midfielder.

Club career

Brazil / Marítimo

In his country, Marcinho started playing for Campo Limpo and Associação Desportiva São Caetano.[1] In January 2004 he joined Clube de Regatas Brasil and then was loaned out to Santos FC,[2][3] with which he competed in the Série A in the 2004 season, starting in only three of his appearances but contributing relatively to the national championship conquest.

Marcinho arrived in Portugal in January 2005, signing with C.S. Marítimo. During his spell in Madeira he never appeared in less than 27 top division games when playing complete seasons, his best output being six goals in 29 matches in 2008–09 as his team finished in ninth position; he also competed in that year's UEFA Cup, scoring in a 1–2 first round away loss against Valencia CF (1–3 on aggregate).[4]

APOEL

In late December 2009 Marcinho signed with APOEL F.C. in the Cypriot First Division, amidst interest of French teams Le Mans Union Club 72 and Grenoble Foot 38.[5] He netted seven times in 25 contests in his first full campaign as the Nicosia-based side won the national championship.

Marcinho appeared in eleven 2011–12 UEFA Champions League matches for APOEL, in the club's surprising quarter-finals run in the competition. The 31-year-old was released in late May 2012, after his contract was not renewed.

Later years

On 19 June 2012, Marcinho signed for one year with PFC Levski Sofia in Bulgaria.[6] On 14 June of the following year, he agreed to a one-year deal with Cyprus' Anorthosis Famagusta FC.[7]
