Club career

[edit]

Fluminense

[edit]

Marlon was born in Magé, Rio de Janeiro, and joined Fluminense's youth setup in 2013. On 17 March 2015, he moved to Fort Lauderdale Strikers on a season-long loan deal.[1]

Marlon made his senior debut on 4 April 2015, starting in a 0–1 home loss against New York Cosmos. He scored his first goal late in the month, netting his team's second in a 3–1 away success over Ottawa Fury.[2] He returned to Fluminense in December 2015, after scoring eight goals in 31 appearances.[3]

Upon returning, Marlon featured as an unused substitute for Flu during the 2016 season, before joining affiliate club ŠTK Šamorín on loan on 4 January 2017.[4] He returned to his parent club in July,[5] and made his first team – and Série A – debut on 9 July, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Bahia.[6]

Marlon scored his first goal for Fluminense on 26 July 2017, netting the winner in a 2–1 Copa Sudamericana away success over Universidad Católica del Ecuador.[7] Despite featuring more regularly for the side in the remainder of the 2017 season, he lost space in the 2018 campaign, and was subsequently loaned to Série B side Criciúma on 30 May 2018.[8]

On 2 January 2019, Botafogo-SP announced the signing of Marlon on loan for the season.[9] An immediate starter, he only missed one match in the 2019 Série B due to suspension.

Atlético Goianiense

[edit]

Ahead of the 2020 season, Marlon signed a permanent contract with Atlético Goianiense, newly promoted to the top tier.[10] On 22 October of that year, after becoming an undisputed starter, he renewed his contract until the end of 2022.[11]
