Early life

Marshall was born in 2004 in Glengormley, Northern Ireland.[2] He attended Glengormley Integrated Primary School.[3]

Club career

edit

Marshall began his career at Bangor Rangers, playing with the club until the age of seven, before moving to Glentoran.[4] Marshall later moved to play in the academy of rivals Linfield.[5] On 2 November 2021, he scored on his senior debut for Linfield in the Northern Ireland Football League Cup in a 11–0 win over PSNI.[6] 28 days later, Marshall made his NIFL Premiership debut for Linfield, coming on as a 90th-minute substitute for Christy Manzinga in a 2–0 win over Carrick Rangers.[7]

In January 2022, Marshall joined the youth academy of English Premier League side West Ham United.[8][9] He scored a goal on his youth debut for the club against the youth academy of West Bromwich Albion.[10] Marshall was a member of the team which won the 2023 FA Youth Cup defeating Arsenal 5–1 at the Emirates Stadium in April 2023. He scored West Ham's second goal, converting Gideon Kodua's cross with a volley from close range.[11] On 16 January 2024, Marshall made his senior debut for West Ham, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute in a 1–0 FA Cup defeat against Bristol City.[12]

On 26 January 2024 , Marshall joined West Bromwich Albion, on loan for the remainder of the 2023–24 season.[13] He made his West Bromwich debut on 3 February coming on as a 62nd minute substitute for Brandon Thomas-Asante in a 1–0 win against Birmingham City.[14][15] In April, having played only 55 minutes for West Brom, Marshall was allowed to return to West Ham and train and play with their under–21 side while still being available to play for West Brom should they call on him.[16]

On 9 August 2024, Marshall joined League One club Huddersfield Town on a season-long loan deal.[17] Marshall made his debut for Huddersfield on 13 August 2024 in the EFL Cup against Morecambe. He scored in the 38th minute and assisted for Danny Ward’s goal as Huddersfield won 3–0.[18]

He had a late goal disallowed by VAR which would have given Northern Ireland a famous draw.[21]
