Encyclopedia
Mário Rui Correia Tomás, aka Marinho (born 26 April 1983 in Lisbon
), is a Portuguese
footballer who plays for Académica de Coimbra as a winger.
In 2006, he moved to C.D. Fátima
, where he scored 13 times in 42 matches, helping the side promote to the second division
in 2007–08. Also, in that season's League Cup, he helped the club to a 2–1 shock win at former employers Sporting (albeit in an eventual 4–4 aggregate loss).
Courtesy of his solid performances, Marinho moved in January 2008 to the top level, with Associação Naval 1º de Maio
, being cast into the starting XI in his first seasons, but losing that status subsequently. On 10 April 2011, he scored his second goal of the season in a 2–1 home win against S.L. Benfica, but the Figueira da Foz
club eventually returned to level two after a six-year stay.
In late June 2011, Marinho signed a three-year contract with fellow top-divisioner Académica de Coimbra, arriving on a free transfer.
