Edgar Carvalho Figueira Marcelino is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Amora F.C. as a right winger.

Club career

Born in Coimbra, Marcelino started his career at Sporting CP, but never represented the main squad, going on to have consecutive loan stints. He made his professional debut with F.C. Penafiel, first appearing in a 1–1 home draw against Rio Ave FC; he was an important attacking element throughout the season, as his team retained their Primeira Liga status.
For 2005–06, Marcelino was loaned to Dutch Eredivisie's RBC Roosendaal, which dropped down a level at the end of the campaign. Subsequently, released by Sporting, he joined Vitória de Guimarães in the second division, but left in January 2007 to Cypriot side AC Omonia, where he failed to establish himself.
Marcelino moved countries again in 2008–09, moving to Spanish third level team Racing de Ferrol. However, in January 2009, he returned to Cyprus with APOP Kinyras FC, joining several other compatriots in the squad and being released exactly two years later.
In 2013, after one year in Morocco, Marcelino signed a contract with Omani club Al-Seeb. On 21 August of the following year, he was drafted by FC Goa to play in the inaugural edition of the Indian Super League. He scored his first and only goal for the franchise on 10 December, helping to a 1–1 draw at Atlético de Kolkata.
Marcelino was signed by another Indian side on 22 January 2015, I-League's Pune FC, completing the team's foreign quota after replacing Liberian Eric Brown. He made his debut the following day, starting against title holders Bengaluru FC, providing an assist for Luciano Sabrosa in the 25th minute and being replaced later on in an eventual 3–1 win.
On 12 January 2016, Marcelino joined Cypriot Second Division club Karmiotissa FC.
