Caio Marcelo Pinheiro da Silva (born 14 March 1998) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Casa Pia.[1]

Career

Marcelo had youth stints with Botafogo and Cruzeiro.[2][3] He began playing for Nova Iguaçu's academy in 2013, remaining for five years whilst scoring five goals in ninety appearances.[4] Campeonato Brasileiro Série A side Vasco da Gama loaned Marcelo in July 2017, as the defender would subsequently feature for their youth ranks.[4][5][6] On 3 September 2018, following successful trials, Marcelo joined Orlando Pirates of the South African Premier Division.[4][7] He was an unused substitute three times up until October, with his professional debut arriving on 3 October during a tie with Golden Arrows.[1] His first goal came a month later versus Polokwane City.[1]

Marcelo left Orlando Pirates on 9 July 2019 after they mutually agreed to part ways, with the South African outfit citing homesickness as the reason.[8] On 16 July, Marcelo moved to Portuguese LigaPro team Casa Pia.[9]
