Career

Marsden played youth team football with Wrexham and Wigan Athletic, and was a prolific goal scorer for Liverpool Schoolboys at under-14 and under-15 levels. [2] He joined Scottish club Celtic at the age of 16, signing a professional contract. [3] He spent the 2010–11 season on loan to Hamilton Academical's youth team. [4] [5] Whilst at Celtic, Marsden suffered a broken foot, all but ending his chances of breaking into the first team, and was subsequently released. He moved on to Rochdale, playing on non-contract terms for their reserve side and scoring eight in 14 games. After a contract failed to materialise, however, he joined Welsh Premier League side Aberystwyth Town and then Stockport Sports. [6]

After scoring 21 goals in 31 matches for Stockport Sports he earned a trial at Stoke City. [7] His trial was successful and he signed a contract until the end of the 2012–13 season. [8] Marsden failed to extend his stay at Stoke and joined Shrewsbury Town in July 2013 after a trial period. [9] He made his professional debut in a goalless draw against Milton Keynes Dons on 3 August 2013, [10] and appeared again in a League Cup defeat to Bolton Wanderers, but broke a bone in his foot early in the game, an injury which ruled him out for up to eight weeks. [11] On 24 January 2014, Shrewsbury Town confirmed the departure of Marsden by mutual consent. [12]

On 4 August 2014 Marsden joined Conference Premier side Southport. [13] He moved on loan to Lincoln City for the rest of the season on 12 February 2015. [14] He then had a short spell at Macclesfield Town, making two appearances in August 2015 before joining Welsh side Colwyn Bay. [15]

Marsden joined Stockport County in January 2016. [16]

In July 2018 he joined Stalybridge Celtic. He left the club in September 2018. [17]
