Career

Marshall was born in Newcastle upon Tyne and is a product of the Carlisle United Academy.[1]

Queen of the South

On 29 June 2015, Marshall signed for Queen of the South after being involved with them in the latter part of the previous season. His signing was announced alongside that of Dale Hilson and Kyle Jacobs.[1] Marshall first played for Queens on 25 July 2015 in the first round of the Scottish League Challenge Cup, playing the full 90 minutes of a 2–0 win over Stranraer at Palmerston Park and receiving a yellow card in the tenth minute.[2] He made his league debut on 8 August 2015 as Queens started the Scottish Championship season with a 3–1 home win over Alloa Athletic, again playing the entirety of the match.[3] On 25 February 2017, he signed a one-year extension to his contract until May 2018.[4]

On 17 March 2018, Marshall scored his first goal for Queen of the South in a 3–1 defeat versus St Mirren at Palmerston.[5] He initially decided to leave the club at the end of the 2017-18 season, turning down the offer of a new contract,[6] but he failed to find a new club during the 2018 close season and decided to sign a new one-year contract with Queens on 25 June 2018.[7]

Dundee

On 18 June 2019, Marshall signed a two-year contract with Dundee.[8] He impressed throughout his first season, until it was ended early due to severe thigh strain.[9] On 7 January 2021, he signed a two-year contract extension with Dundee, keeping him with the club until 2023.[10] Marshall would return from injuries in time to be a part of the Dundee team which won the Premiership play-offs and gained promotion to the Scottish Premiership.[11]

Marshall would make his 100th appearance for the Dark Blues on 17 September 2022 against Inverness Caledonian Thistle.[12] After suffering a knee injury in October, Marshall remained out of action until December when he started in an away win against Ayr United which put Dundee atop the Scottish Championship at Christmas.[13] He would remain a consistent figure for the Dark Blues and would form a strong partnership with winger Luke Hannant en route to winning the Scottish Championship.[14] On 31 May 2023, Dundee announced Marshall had not been offered a new contract and would leave the club.[15]

The New Saints

On 6 October 2023, Marshall signed with Cymru Premier club The New Saints on a two-year contract.[16] He made his debut on 18 October in a Welsh Cup win over Ruthin Town.[17] Marshall would come off the bench for TNS in their Welsh League Cup final victory over Swansea City U21s.[18] [19] Marshall won the Cymru Premier with TNS on 2 March.[20] On 24 March, Marshall came on as a substitute in the 2024 Scottish Challenge Cup final which TNS lost to Airdrieonians.[21]
