Club career

Marsh is a youth product of Sheffield United, and worked his way up their youth categories. [4]

On 4 August 2020, Marsh signed a scholarship contract with the club [5] and in May 2022, he was offered another contract. [6] He scored 24 goals in all competitions during the 2022–23 season including 23 in the Professional Development League, garnering him attention from other clubs. [7]

After a prolific start in the Professional Development League for the 2023–24 season which included scoring two consecutive hat-tricks, Marsh started training with the senior Sheffield United side in August 2023 and appeared on the bench for a couple of Premier League matches. [8] He then made his senior and professional debut with Sheffield United as a substitute in a 0–0 (3–2) EFL Cup loss to Lincoln City on 30 August 2023. [9] He subsequently joined Doncaster Rovers on loan on transfer deadline day. [10]

Marsh scored his first goal for Sheffield United on 13 August 2024 in an EFL Cup tie against Wrexham. [11] Later that season he was loaned to Fleetwood Town and scored his first league goal in a victory over Crewe Alexandra. [12] [13]

International career

In August 2024, Marsh was called up to the England U20 squad to replace an injury. [14] On 6 September 2024, he made his debut as a 90th-minute substitute, in a 1–1 draw against Turkey U20. [15] Four days after his debut Marsh scored his first international goal in a victory over Romania. [16]
