Club career

FC Nordsjælland

An attacking midfielder, Marcondes began his youth career with hometown club Hvidovre IF and transferred to the academy at Danish Superliga club FC Nordsjælland in 2010.[3] He progressed through the youth ranks to win his maiden call into the first team squad for a league match versus AC Horsens on 16 July 2012 and remained an unused substitute during the 4–0 victory.[4] Marcondes made his senior debut in the return match on 7 April 2013 and made two further appearances before the end of the 2012–13 season.[5] Marcondes' development continued with 15 appearances during the 2013–14 season, in which he made three European appearances and scored his first senior goal, which came in a 3–1 victory over Viborg FF on 11 May 2014.[4]

Marcondes made 24 appearances during the 2014–15 season and was thereafter an established member of the first team squad.[4] He made a career-high 31 appearances during the 2015–16 season and scored 12 goals in 26 appearances during 2016–17.[6] In July 2017, Marcondes signed a pre-contract agreement to depart the club on 31 December 2017.[7] He had an excellent first half of the 2017–18 season, scoring 18 goals in 20 appearances and winning the November 2017 Danish Superliga Player of the Month award.[4][8] With 17 league goals, he was top scorer of the Danish Superliga at the commencement of the winter break.[3] Marcondes finished his career at Farum Park with 119 appearances and 38 goals.[6] He was voted the Superliga Player of the Year at the 2017 Danish Football Awards.[9]

Brentford

On 21 July 2017, Marcondes signed a pre-contract agreement to move to England and join Championship club Brentford on a ​3 1⁄2-year contract in January 2018.[3] He moved to London in December 2017 and officially transferred to the club on 1 January 2018.[7][10] Mainly used in a substitute role,[11][12] Marcondes made 13 appearances in what remained of the 2017–18 season.[13] A foot injury suffered during the 2018–19 pre-season ruled Marcondes out until 24 November 2018,[14] but he managed just three appearances before missing another three months of the season with an ankle ligament injury.[15][16] He finished an injury-affected 2018–19 season with 13 appearances and no goals.[15]

After making five appearances during the first month of the 2019–20 season,[17] personal reasons led to Marcondes' return to Denmark on loan until 31 December 2019.[18][19] Five days after his return, Marcondes' first Brentford goal was enough to beat Stoke City in an FA Cup third round match.[17]

FC Midtjylland (loan)

On 2 September 2019, Marcondes joined Danish Superliga club FC Midtjylland on loan until 31 December 2019.[18] He made 12 appearances and scored two goals during his spell.[17]

International career

Marcondes made 43 appearances and scored 10 goals for Denmark between U17 and U21 level.[20] He was a part of the U21 squad which exited in the group stage at the 2017 UEFA European U21 Championship.[21] Marcondes was called into the Denmark U21 squad for the Suwon Invitational Tournament, into which the team was entered in preparation for the 2016 Summer Olympics.[22] Despite appearing in each match and scoring one goal, he was not named in the Olympic squad.[20]

Personal life

Marcondes was born in Hvidovre, Denmark, to a Danish father and a Brazilian mother and has one brother.[22][23] His father is a jazz musician and his maternal grandfather is retired footballer Braz Camargo.[24] At age 9, Marcondes' parents separated and he remained in Denmark to live with his father, while his mother returned to Brazil and died in 2012.[24]
