Career

Early career

Marshall began his career in the Broxbourne Borough academy, playing in the Eastern Junior Alliance, before joining Ipswich Town's youth system in July 2014. [3] [4] He became a full-time academy player upon signing a two-year scholarship with Ipswich in July 2016. [5] During his time in the academy, he joined Lowestoft Town on a youth loan on 16 March 2018 for the remainder of the 2017–18 season. [6] His scholarship was extended by a further year in July 2018, running until June 2019. [5] In January 2019, he spent time on loan at National League club Braintree Town, although he did not make any first-team appearances. [7] Marshall was released by Ipswich in June 2019. [5]

Maidstone United and Stevenage

Following his release from Ipswich, Marshall signed a one-year deal with National League South club Maidstone United on 11 October 2019. [4] The move reunited him with manager Hakan Hayrettin, who had previously managed him during his loan spell at Braintree Town. [4] He made his debut the following day, playing the full match in a 1–1 draw away at Bath City. [8] Marshall scored his first goal for Maidstone in a 4–1 home victory over Dulwich Hamlet on 28 December 2019, [9] and went on to make 25 appearances in all competitions during the 2019–20 season, scoring once. [2]

After one season at Maidstone, Marshall signed for League Two club Stevenage on 10 July 2020. [10] He made his debut as an 87th-minute substitute in a 3–0 home victory over Oldham Athletic on 19 September 2020. [11] He joined National League club Barnet on loan on 18 February 2022, on an agreement until the end of the 2021–22 season. [12] He made 18 appearances during his loan at Barnet before returning to Stevenage, who subsequently made him available for transfer in May 2022. [13]

Torquay United

Marshall signed for National League club Torquay United on 5 July 2022. [14] He made his debut in a 0–0 draw with Oldham Athletic on 6 August 2022. [15] During the opening month of his Torquay career, he received four yellow cards and one red card in his first four appearances, [15] [16] before scoring his first goal in his fifth match, a 3–1 defeat to Woking on 29 August 2022. [15] Marshall made 29 appearances and scored twice during his first season, which ended in Torquay's relegation to the National League South. [15] [16] He was a regular in the 2023–24 season, making 38 appearances and scoring four goals. [16] Torquay were deducted one point that season for fielding Marshall while he was suspended in a 1–1 draw with Weymouth on 2 March 2024; both the club and player were fined £250. [17] [18] He left Torquay at the end of his contract in June 2024. [19]

Dulwich Hamlet and Bishop's Stortford

Marshall signed for Isthmian League Premier Division club Dulwich Hamlet on 8 August 2024, joining manager Hayrettin for a third time, despite interest from several other clubs. [20] He sustained an injury in a 2–2 draw with Leatherhead, forcing his substitution after 24 minutes and ruling him out for three months. [21] [22] Marshall made 15 appearances during the season, [23] before signing for Bishop's Stortford of the Southern League Premier Division Central on 16 July 2025. [24]

Style of play

Marshall has been deployed as both a centre-back and a defensive midfielder. [10] [25] Upon signing for Stevenage, manager Alex Revell characterised him as a "strong, combative defensive midfielder". [10]
