Career

Early career

Marku began playing football with the youth teams of his local team Vllaznia Shkodër but in 2010 due to his university studies he moved to Tirana, where he began playing for Dinamo Tirana. He was part of the Dinamo Tirana U-19 side for the 2010–11 season where he was the team captain.
Marku made his professional debut against Flamurtari Vlorë on 20 April 2011 in a 6–2 loss, coming on as a substitute in the 57th minute for Nurudeen Orelesi. He was then promoted to the starting line-up for the 2011–12 season because of Dinamo's extreme financial difficulties which resulted in nearly all of the senior players to leave the club in the summer. In the summer of 2013 he joined FK Kukësi.

Vllaznia Shkodër

On 24 January 2016, during the first leg of the quarter-finals of the 2015–16 Albanian Cup against Skënderbeu Korçë, Marku suffered a head-to-head collision with Skënderbeu's Ademir, forcing him to leave the field with a stretcher and was immediately sent to the nearest hospital along with Ademir.

Drenica

On 17 August 2019 Marku announced on his Facebook profile, that he had joined KF Drenica in Kosovo.
