Career

Early career

Marshall began his career playing in the academy for Broxbourne Borough in the Eastern Junior Alliance before joining Ipswich Town's youth system in July 2014.[4][5] He became a full-time academy player at Ipswich when he signed a two-year scholarship in July 2016.[6] Whilst still in Ipswich's academy, Marshall was loaned out to Lowestoft Town on 16 March 2018, joining on a youth loan for the remainder of the 2017–18 season.[7] At the end of that season, in July 2018, Marshall's scholarship at Ipswich was extended for a further year, running until June 2019.[6] He was sent out on loan to National League club Braintree Town in January 2019, although did not make any appearances for the club during the loan agreement.[8] Marshall was released by Ipswich after not being offered a professional contract in June 2019.[6]

Maidstone United

Following his release from Ipswich, Marshall signed a one-year deal with National League South club Maidstone United on 11 October 2019.[5] The move meant that he would be playing under the management of Hakan Hayrettin, who had previously managed Marshall during his loan spell at Braintree.[5] Marshall made his Maidstone debut a day after signing, playing the whole match in a 1–1 draw away at Bath City.[9] He scored his first goal for the club in a 4–1 home victory over Dulwich Hamlet on 28 December 2019.[10] Marshall went on to make 25 appearances in all competitions throughout the 2019–20 season, scoring once.[2]

Stevenage

After one season at Maidstone, Marshall signed for League Two club Stevenage on 10 July 2020.[3] He made his debut in the club's 3–0 home victory over Oldham Athletic on 19 September 2020, coming on as an 87th-minute substitute in the match.[11]

Style of play

He has played as both a central defender and a defensive midfielder during his career.[3][12] Upon signing for Stevenage, manager Alex Revell described Marshall as "strong, combative defensive midfielder".[3]
