Playing Career Tremarco began his career as a trainee at Tranmere Rovers in August 2003 and made his first team debut in December 2003 against Hornchurch in the 2nd round of the FA Cup. He soon signed a full professional contract and made his first league appearances towards the end of the 2004–05 season. The following season, Tremarco became a regular in the first team, making a total of 19 league appearances at left midfield and left back and scoring a single goal.
