Marco João Costa Baixinho (born 11 July 1989) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays mainly as a central defender for U.D. Leiria.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Arruda dos Vinhos, Lisbon District, Baixinho spent most of his youth career at Sporting CP and briefly rivals S.L. Benfica.[2] He made his senior debut with A.D. Carregado in the third division in the 2008–09 season, winning promotion[3] and then making his professional debut in the second,[4] suffering instant relegation.[5]

In the summer of 2011, Baixinho joined C.D. Mafra also of the third tier.[6] On 23 June 2015, after four seasons of regular game time concluding with winning the title, he signed a two-year deal at Primeira Liga club F.C. Paços de Ferreira under his former Mafra manager Jorge Simão.[7]

Baixinho extended his contract in January 2016, to last until July 2019.[8] He scored his first top-flight goal on 5 December that year, opening a 2–1 home win over Boavista F.C. while playing in defensive midfield.[2] After Paços were relegated in 2018, he netted four times to help them bounce back as champions (five in all competitions) and then signed a new deal in June 2019.[9]

At the end of the 2021–22 campaign, having failed to agree terms for a new deal, the 33-year-old Baixinho left the Estádio da Mata Real.[10] On 13 July 2022, he signed a two-year contract with Anorthosis Famagusta FC of the Cypriot First Division.[11]

Baixinho returned to his homeland in July 2023, agreeing to a two-year deal at U.D. Leiria, recently promoted to division two.[12]
