Playing Career

Tremarco began his career as a trainee at Tranmere Rovers in August 2003 and made his first team debut in December 2003 against Hornchurch in the 2nd round of the FA Cup. [1] [2] He soon signed a full professional contract and made his first league appearances towards the end of the 2004–05 season. [3]
The following season, Tremarco became a regular in the first team, making a total of 19 league appearances at left midfield and left back and scoring a single goal. [4] The end of the 2005–06 season saw Tremarco sign a new two-year contract [5] and he made a further 25 appearances in the 2006–07 season. [6]

In January 2008, Tremarco joined Wrexham until the end of the season, after the club bought out the remaining four months of his contract with Tranmere. [7] Following Wrexham's relegation to the Conference National in May 2008, he was out-of-contract but was offered, and signed, a two-year contract with the club. [8]

It was announced on 2 June 2009 that Tremarco had signed a one-year deal for Macclesfield Town, and in May 2010, he signed a further two-year deal to stay with the Silkmen. [9]

He joined Maltese Premier League side Floriana in August 2012, on loan, until the end of the 2012–13 season. [10] He made 22 appearances for the Greens, scoring one goal against Qormi on the final day of the season. [11]

Tremarco signed for Inverness Caledonian Thistle in July 2013. [12] On 30 May 2015, he won the Scottish Cup with ICT, despite having been sent off for a last man foul. [13] After having been a backup to Graeme Shinnie in his first two seasons, he established himself in the first team in 2015–16 after Shinnie's departure to Aberdeen. He quickly became a fan favourite in the Highlands. On 24 March 2018, in the final of the Scottish Challenge Cup, he scored a last minute winner, after an assist from Daniel Mackay, as Inverness beat Dumbarton 1–0. [14] In July 2018, Tremarco was named club captain following the departure of previous captain Gary Warren. [15]

On 16 July 2020, Tremarco joined Ross County on a one-year contract. [16] He was released by County on 27 May 2021 along with nine other players. [17] In June 2021, he announced his retirement from playing, joining the youth setup. [18] In February 2024, after Derek Adams tendered his resignation, Tremarco, was promoted to be assistant manager to interim manager, Don Cowie, a role which he remained in until 20 June 2025, when Tremarco was relieved of his duties following Ross County's relegation to the Scottish Championship.
