New Cape Town City goalkeeper Hugo Marques has disclosed he didn't think twice when the Citizens enquired about his availability. SihleNdebeleSK
The 35-year-old Portuguese-Angolan completed his transfer yesterday, having been a free agent after leaving Portuguese second-tier outfit Farense last month. The experienced shot-stopper has been capped seven times for Angola.
Marquez spent the better part of his career in Portugal, turning out for various lower division clubs such as Varzim CJ, AC Vila Mea and Tirsense among others. As a teenager, the City goalkeeper played for FC Porto’s youth teams. Quizzed about the logic of recruiting a 35-year-old foreign keeper when they have a 23-year-old promising local shot-stopper in Marc Anderson, City coach reasoned Marquez came to replace injured Darren Keet. Keet, who joined City last month, tore his muscle thigh and is expected to be out for a period of three to six months.quite
