Marco Tilio leaves Celtic for Melbourne City on season-long loan

Marco Tilio leaves Celtic for Melbourne City on season-long loan

Celticโ€™s Marco Tilio has signed a new loan deal with Melbourne City which sees him remain in the A-League for another season.

The 22-year-old attacker signed for the Hoops on a five-year deal from the Australian club last summer for a transfer fee reported to be an A-League record.

However, he only made two appearances off the bench for the Parkhead side, against Motherwell and Hibernian.

Tilio joined Melbourne City on loan in February but injury restricted him to just four A-League appearances where he scored once.

The Australia international told Cityโ€™s official website: โ€œIโ€™m so happy that I can extend my stay at City, this club has always felt like home to me, and I canโ€™t wait to get back on the pitch and contribute to the team.

โ€œLast season was a difficult one for me with injury, but Iโ€™ve been working hard to come back stronger and Iโ€™m looking forward to making more memorable moments together with my teammates and the City fans.โ€
