A 6ft striker, Marcus is a product of Southampton’s youth scheme. He joined the Saints in 2013 and signed his first pro contract with them in 2013.

He was loaned to Yeovil Town where he appeared nine times and scored one goal in League Two, but after a further loan at Eastleigh he was released in July 2020, having made one senior appearance in the FA Cup against Derby County at Pride Park.

He was then signed by Oldham, where he spent five months in League Two, making seven appearances, before a threemonth spell in the US at the end of last season, with North Colorado based Hailstorm FC in the USL League One.

He came to Mickleover at the start of last season and scored two goals on his Mickleover debut in the pre-season friendly at Borrowash, going on to score 18 in league and cup throughout the season. He is the younger brother of ex Derby County midfielder Giles.
