Arranging to a two-year agreement with Lyn of the Norwegian Premier League in February 2004, [1] [2] Marques was second-string goalkeeper behind Ali Al-Habsi and was sent to FK Tønsberg for the rest of the 2005 season. [3] Next, he trialed with Bryne, who were in the Norwegian 1. divisjon, earning a contract lasting until 2008. [4] [5] Despite being the second-choice goalkeeper at Bryne, the Benfica youth graduate started the first round of the 2007 Norwegian First Division away to Løv-Ham, [6] earning praise from his coach despite losing the game. [7] However, the Portuguese goalkeeper picked up a knee injury in May that year, leaving him out for the rest of the season. [8] By 2008, Marques was at Notodden FK, then of the Norwegian First Division, repudiating rumors of Greek clubs signing him. [9]
