Marco Tilio
Marco Tilio (born 23 August 2001) is an Australian professional soccer player who plays as a winger for Austrian Football Bundesliga club SK Rapid Wien, and the Australia national team.
Tilio was born on 23 August 2001 in Hurstville, a suburb in Southern Sydney, to Michael and Melina Tilio. Shortly after birth, he was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis, which required a month-long hospital stay before his discharge. At the age of six weeks, he returned to the hospital due to the after-effects of hydrocephalus, where he received ongoing monitoring by neurosurgeons until the age of one.
At the age of six, Tilio began playing club football by joining Enfield Rovers in the junior leagues. During his childhood, Tilio soon moved with Leichhardt Saints, and later joined the youth system at APIA Leichhardt, initially with the juniors, before transitioning to the NPL youth side in 2011. He further progressed to Sydney Olympic before finally earning an opportunity to play for his hometown club, Sydney FC.
Since joining the club in October 2015, Tilio signed his first professional contract, a one-year scholarship deal, with Sydney FC on 11 September 2018.
Tilio made his NPL senior debut on 10 March 2019, and scored the opening goal, for Sydney FC NPL side in a 2–1 win over Hakoah. Four months later, on 7 July, he scored his 4th and 5th goal of the season, with two goals in the span of two minutes, to win the game 3–1 against Rockdale Ilinden. His contributions proved pivotal as Tilio helped Sydney FC clinched survival for another season following a crucial win over Sydney United.
In November, he was announced in the Sydney FC Youth squad for the 2019–20 Foxtel Youth League. During the competition, Tilio scored a hat-trick, his second of the week following his first during international duty, in an 8–3 win against Newcastle Jets. After progressing to the final, Tilio would score two goals, including a brace, to win the Y-League after a 5–1 victory over Melbourne Victory. He was awarded the FYL Golden Boot for his tally of 11 goals.
On 21 May 2019, Tilio made his professional debut in the AFC Champions League in a 4–0 loss against Kawasaki Frontale at Jubilee Stadium. In September, he was promoted to the senior squad alongside Ryan Teague and Harry Van der Saag, ahead of the 2019–20 A-League season. His time with the seniors was described by Adam Le Fondre as "a rollercoaster," but proclaims its normal with youngsters.
On 23 February 2020, Tilio scored on his A-League debut, to secure a 3–1 win over Central Coast Mariners and send his side 13 points clear at the top of the table. On 7 September, after making 6 appearances and scoring 1 goal, Tilio departed Sydney FC to find better playing time, rejecting the contract offer made by Steve Corica.
