Football career [edit]
Espanyol [edit]
Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Márquez was a product of hometown RCD Espanyol's youth system. He was promoted to the first team for the 2009–10 season, making his top level debut on 19 September – playing 30 minutes at Deportivo de La Coruña for a 3–2 win, having come on as a substitute for Israeli Ben Sahar.[1] He quickly established himself in the first team and, on 20 December 2009, scored his first goal in a 2–0 home win against UD Almería;[2] however, his season ended prematurely in March 2010, after he broke his leg in a match against Sevilla FC.[3]
Márquez recovered fully for 2010–11, being an undisputed starter for the Mauricio Pochettino-led side while partnering another Espanyol youth graduate, Raúl Baena, in central midfield. However, after recovering from another injury, he was deemed surplus to requirements by the manager,[4] and chose not to renew his contract.[5]
Mallorca [edit]
In the 2012 summer Márquez joined RCD Mallorca, as Sergio Tejera moved in the opposite direction. He made his official debut precisely against his former side, starting and playing 54 minutes in a 2–1 home win.[6]
