Template:Spanish name Marcos Eusebio Jiménez de la Espada Martín (born 3 November 1985), known simply as Marcos, is a Spanish footballer who plays for Hong Kong club Kitchee SC as a forward.
Club career
Born in Pollença, Majorca, Balearic Islands, Marcos was a trainee of both SD La Salle and CD San Francisco, and made his senior debuts with CE Constància in 2004–05, in Tercera División. He stayed in the same level for the following three seasons, representing RCD Mallorca B and UE Sant Andreu.
In July 2008, Marcos was loaned to Segunda División B club Orihuela CF.[1] He subsequently returned to the Catalans in the following year, with the team now in the same division.
In July 2010, Marcos moved to CF Sporting Mahonés also in the third tier,[2] and started in all his appearances in his only season to help to a 15th-place finish. On 15 July 2011, he rejoined Sant Andreu for a third spell.[3]
On 26 June 2012, Marcos signed for Gimnàstic de Tarragona, freshly relegated to division three.[4] He scored 16 goals in his debut campaign, with his side ranking sixth.
On 29 June 2015, after achieving promotion to Segunda División, Marcos renewed his contract with Nàstic for a further year.[5] He made his professional debut on 23 August (two months shy of his 30th birthday), coming on as a second-half substitute for Mossa in a 2–2 home draw against Albacete Balompié; he also scored the last goal through a penalty.[6]
On 23 June 2016, after narrowly missing another promotion, Marcos was released as his contract was due to expire.[7]
Personal life
Marcos was a member of the Hipster subculture, distinguishing himself with a thick beard and a long hair.[8]
