António José Marreco de Gouveia (born 25 July 1987), known as Tozé Marreco, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a striker.
Club career
Youth
Born in Miranda do Corvo, Coimbra District, Marreco began his youth career in local CD Lousanense, subsequently moving to another club in the region, C.F. União de Coimbra.
At União, he played in several offensive positions including in midfield, but was ultimately dispensed with at the end of the 2001–02 season, going on to finish his football formation with regional giants Académica de Coimbra, where he was a prolific goal scorer.
Professionals
In January 2007, after starting professionally with F.C. Pampilhosa, Marreco signed for Clube Atlético Mirandense also in the third division. On 12 August, a phone call from his agent Jorge Baidek offered an invitation from Dutch second level side FC Zwolle, and he penned a contract later in the month.[1] He had a very successful season, being the second-best Portuguese scorer abroad only trailing Cristiano Ronaldo, while also helping his team to the promotion playoffs (finally without success) and the quarter-finals of the domestic cup, where they lost to eventual winner Feyenoord.
In the summer of 2008, Marreco joined Deportivo Alavés in the Spanish second tier,[2] but could not amass one single official appearance with the Basques. On 22 January 2009 he moved to Bulgaria's PFC Lokomotiv Mezdra on a three-year deal,[3] making his debut two days later in a 6–0 friendly routing of FC Botev Krivodol where he scored twice.
On 30 June 2009, Marreco signed a two-year contract with Servette FC in the Swiss second division. In the following year he returned to his country, being loaned to C.D. Aves in a season-long move;[4] in his debut as starter, on 28 October 2010, he scored a hat-trick in a 3–2 home win against Portimonense S.C. for the campaign's Portuguese League Cup.[5]
Marreco continued competing mainly in level two in the following years, with C.F. União,[6] Associação Naval 1º de Maio[7] and C.D. Tondela (two spells). In between, he also collected nine Primeira Liga appearances for S.C. Beira-Mar[8] and S.C. Olhanense[9] combined, failing to find the net.
In 2014–15, during his second stint with Tondela, Marreco was crowned the competition joint-top scorer at 23 goals,[10][11][12][13] helping the Viseu-based club reach the top flight for the first time in its history.[14] On 31 August 2015, he signed with Belgian Pro League side Royal Mouscron-Péruwelz,[15] but was loaned back to his country's second tier with G.D. Chaves in February.[16]
In July 2016, Marreco returned to Académica after 11 years away, joining a club that had just been relegated from the top division.[17] Having been loaned halfway through his first season to fellow league team F.C. Famalicão,[18] he terminated his contract by mutual consent in June 2018.[19]
In December 2018, Marreco dropped down a level and signed for Lusitânia FC.[20]
