Caio Marcelo Pinheiro da Silva (born 14 March 1998) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Vila Nova.[3][1]

Career

[edit]

Marcelo had youth stints with Botafogo and Cruzeiro.[4][5] He began playing for Nova Iguaçu's academy in 2013, remaining for five years whilst scoring five goals in ninety appearances.[6] Campeonato Brasileiro Série A side Vasco da Gama loaned Marcelo in July 2017, as the defender would subsequently feature for their youth ranks.[6][7][8] On 3 September 2018, following successful trials, Marcelo joined Orlando Pirates of the South African Premier Division.[6][9] He was an unused substitute three times up until October, with his professional debut arriving on 3 October during a tie with Golden Arrows.[1] His first goal came a month later versus Polokwane City.[1]

Marcelo left Orlando Pirates on 9 July 2019, after the two parties mutually agreed to part ways, with the South African outfit citing homesickness as the reason.[10] On 16 July, Marcelo moved to Portuguese LigaPro team Casa Pia.[11] He made fifteen appearances in league and cup across 2019–20, though wouldn't feature in the early stages of 2020–21 and would depart in October 2020 to Campeonato de Portugal team Águeda.[2] He debuted in a win over Espinho on 23 October, before scoring in his fifth appearance against Valadares Gaia on 5 December.[1]
