Marshall started his career in his native Scotland with Leith Athletic. He left the club in 1897 to transfer to Liverpool, of the English First Division.[1] Marshall struggled to establish himself as a regular at the club and, in 1899, transferred to Portsmouth. He went on to make 131 appearances, scoring 19 goals[2] and helping the side win the Southern Football League in the 1901–1902 season.[1]
He was unrelated to John Marshall, who scored for Third Lanark in the 1889 Scottish Cup Final against Celtic.[1]
