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. 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, 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.
