Timeline

1846

Following his spell at Baden, he began his professional career at Germany's SSV Ulm 1846 in the 1999–2000 season.

He subsequently moved to Hertha BSC, but did not appear in a single match for the first team in the Bundesliga.

1977

Rui Manuel Marques (born 3 September 1977) is an Angolan former football defender who was a first choice centre-back for the Angola national team.

Born in Angola, Marques moved to Portugal as a child.

After coming through the youth ranks at Portuguese club Benfica, Marques left to join Swiss side FC Baden.

2002

After only six months with Hertha, Marques moved to fellow Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart, spending there three-and-a-half seasons there and winning the 2002 UEFA Intertoto Cup after beating French side Lille.

2004

In the 2004–05 season, he moved back to Portugal to join Primeira Liga side Marítimo in Madeira.

However, after struggling to break into the first team, Marques was released after just one season.

As a free agent, he then began to look for clubs abroad.

2005

Prior to the 2005–06 season, Marques went on trial to Ipswich Town, where he impressed then manager Joe Royle enough to want to sign him permanently.

However, Marques instead chose to move to Leeds United on a free transfer.

He was signed by manager Kevin Blackwell, but Marques made only one appearance for Leeds in the 2005–06 season in the League Cup against Oldham Athletic, in which he was clearly very nervous and uncomfortable playing out of position at right-back.

Marques did not feature again for Leeds that season, with Paul Butler, Sean Gregan, Matthew Kilgallon, Clarke Carlisle and Michael Duberry all ahead of him in the pecking order.

Towards the end of the 2005–06 season, he joined Hull City on a short-term loan, though his loan was cut short due to injury.

He then returned to Leeds.

2006

He represented Angola in the 2006 FIFA World Cup, and was one of two Leeds players to take part in that tournament, Eddie Lewis being the other, for the United States.

The 2006–07 campaign again saw Marques overlooked by manager Kevin Blackwell, and initially again by the new Leeds manager Dennis Wise, who said Marques would not feature under his leadership and was told he was free to leave the club, along with a number of other squad and fringe players.

2007

Marques was eventually called up to the first team squad for Leeds' 2–1 victory against Coventry City on 1 January 2007, where he turned in a solid performance at centre-back.

This performance saw Marques being rewarded with a long run in the starting lineup at Elland Road.

With questions mounting about whether his contract would be extended, Marques stated he would prefer to concentrate on Leeds' relegation battle than signing a new deal.

He was an instant hit with the fans.

Despite some impressive performances, Marques' efforts were not enough to save Leeds from relegation to League One for the first time in club history.

Nonetheless, Marques showed his commitment to the club and signed a new contract on 7 August 2007.

Marques was a regular starter in the first team and scored his first goal for Leeds on 18 August 2007 in the 4–1 drubbing of Southend United in the dying minutes of the match.

2008

Marques missed several matches in January 2008, joining the Angola national team for the 2008 African Cup of Nations.

On his return, Marques established himself as fourth-choice captain at Leeds, taking up the armband for most of March 2008 while Alan Thompson, Jonathan Douglas and Andy Hughes were out injured.

Marques incurred an injury and was replaced by Paul Huntington in Leeds' starting line-up.

Due to Huntington's fantastic form, Marques was kept out of the side for the rest of the season, only being limited to occasional substitute appearances.

Before he left the club, manager Dennis Wise stated he would offer Marques a new contract; Wise even said Marques should wait longer before signing the deal to help get a wage increase.

Upon his arrival, new manager Gary McAllister offered Marques a new contract, however talks stalled, with the length of the contract appearing to be the deciding factor in Marques' decision.

Talks were delayed until the summer and Leeds reached the League One playoff final, but lost 1–0 against Doncaster Rovers.

During the summer, Marques was linked to a move to the Premier League, with him interesting Roy Keane's Sunderland.

However, on 20 May 2008, he signed a new contract with Leeds, contracting him to the club for a further two seasons.

At the start of the 2008–09 season, Marques, who is fluent in Spanish, acted as a translator for new Argentine signing Luciano Becchio.

After a poor start to the 2008–09 season, with Leeds' defence leaking a lot of goals, McAllister was sacked and was replaced by Simon Grayson.

2009

Marques scored in Leeds' 2–0 win against Southend United on 28 January 2009.

Marques played regularly under Grayson and began partnering new signing Richard Naylor, but when Sam Sodje was signed on loan from Reading, Marques lost his place when he suffered an hamstring injury.

Leeds reached the playoff semi-finals but lost to Millwall.

With Sam Sodje's loan spell over and captain Richard Naylor injured, Marques found himself as first choice central defence partnership with Patrick Kisnorbo at the start of the 2009–10 season.

However, Marques lost his starting place when he suffered an Achilles injury while on international duty in September, and dropped down the pecking order when he was out injured when Leeds completed the signing of Leigh Bromby.
