Career
On 21 August 2002, FC Porto signed him but loaned him to Académica in January 2003. He then played for Gil Vicente for three seasons, and then for Leiria, before joining Auxerre in summer 2007.
PAOK FC
He signed a one-year contract on loan, but PAOK FC had an option to buy him out after its expiration. Marcos Antonio scored the first goal for PAOK in the 2008–09 Greek Superleague in his first appearance. He finished the season at PAOK and then returned to Auxerre.
In April 2009, Marcos António was diagnosed with throat cancer. He had first complained about a sore throat two months earlier, but did not discover the cause until his wife insisted that he visit an otolaryngologist.
Belenenses
In January 2010, he left Auxerre and returned to Portugal, where he signed for Os Belenenses.
FC Rapid Bucureşti
Marcos António scored two goals in a 5–0 win against FC Petrolul Ploieşti in the Romanian Cup. He scored another goal in a 2–0 win against FC Sportul Studențesc in the Liga I.
1. FC Nuremberg
In June 2012, he signed a contract with 1. FC Nuremberg until 2014. He made his debut for Der Club in the DFB-Pokal against TSV Havelse. On 29 September, he made his Bundesliga debut against VfB Stuttgart, but made two bad errors early in the game, and was substituted after 15 minutes.
Johor Darul Ta'zim
In April 2014, he signed a contract with Johor Darul Ta'zim F.C. to replace Baihakki Khaizan in their defense. He played for his new club in a home game against title rival, Pahang, in the FA Cup semi-final first leg, keeping the visitor's forward, Dickson Nwakaeme, at bay. He almost got his first goal for his new club, but his header on the far post was not on target. He finally scored his first goal in the Malaysia Super League to help JDT beat Pahang FA 2-0 in the 36th minute.
