Club career

Youth career

Marsman grew up in Vroomshoop, Overijssel, and played youth football for local club Vroomshoopse Boys before joining the FC Twente/Heracles joint academy in 2013. [3] During his time in the academy, he was used primarily as a winger and trained with the first-team squads at both Heracles Almelo and Twente in the 2020–21 season. [3] In June 2019, regional daily Tubantia reported that Twente succeeded in keeping Marsman amid interest from Wolverhampton Wanderers. [4] He signed a two-year academy contract with an option year in June 2021. [3]

Cambuur

In 2022, Marsman joined Cambuur's youth setup. [5] He made his senior debut for Cambuur on 26 April 2024 in the Eerste Divisie against Dordrecht, coming on at half-time and providing an assist for Milan Smit within four minutes. [5] [6]

On 15 May 2024, Marsman signed his first professional contract with Cambuur, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2026 with an option for a further year. [5] [7] He made eight appearances in the 2024–25 season, mostly as a substitute, and continued in that role early in the 2025–26 campaign, featuring in home and away victories over TOP Oss and Jong AZ in August 2025. [8] [9] [10] On 11 October, he scored his first senior goal, opening the scoring in a 2–0 home win against De Graafschap—his first start for the club, coming in place of regular left-back Tomas Galvez, who was on international duty with the Finland under-21 team. [11] [12]

International career

In January 2019, Marsman was called up to the Netherlands under-16 squad. [13] He made his debut on 9 February, starting in a 1–0 UEFA Under-16 Development Tournament defeat to Portugal U16 in Vila Real de Santo António. [14] [15]

Style of play

A left-footed full-back, Marsman has been described by Cambuur's technical manager Lars Lambooij as having a "modern, energetic style" that fits the club's profile for the position. [5]
