Marcelo Adrián Carrusca (Spanish: [ˈmaɾθelo adriˈan ˈkarusca]) (born September 1, 1983 in La Plata, Argentina), is an Argentine professional footballer who plays for Adelaide United in the A-League. He usually plays as an Attacking Midfielder.

Club career

Carrusca is a product of Estudiantes de La Plata's youth divisions. He made his first appearance for the club in 2001, and played 103 league games (12 goals) for the team until 2006.

On 27 July 2006 he signed for Turkish club Galatasaray, opting for a 5-year contract worth around €1.8 Million. He played one year for the club, but on 25 July 2007 Galatasaray Manager Karl Heinz Feldkamp reported officially that he did not wish to keep Carrusca on the team and asked the board to sell him in order to open space for a new foreign transfer.

After lack of first team appearances in Galatasaray, he was loaned for 1 year to Mexican Primera División team Cruz Azul for 2008-09 football season. He then re-joined Estudiantes to play with the team during the 2009-10 Argentine Primera División season and the 2009 FIFA Club World Cup.

On July 8, 2010, Carrusca joined Banfield on loan from Estudiantes to replace recently transferred left winger James Rodríguez.[1]

Adelaide United

On 3 August 2012, it was announced Carrusca had agreed to sign with A-League club Adelaide United on an undisclosed two-year contract.[2]

Carrusca scored a goal and assisted a further two in a man of the match performance during Adelaide United's 4-2 home win over Melbourne Victory on 7 December 2012, in Round 10 of the A-League.

National team

Carrusca played as an U-20 Argentina international. He scored 2 goals in 16 appearances and was a member of the Argentina Under-20 team at the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship.
