Born in St Helens, Merseyside, Marsh started his football career at Manchester United. In October 2006, Marsh made his Manchester United debut when he played in Manchester United's 2–1 away win against Crewe Alexandra in the League Cup.

In July, he joined Scottish Premier League club Inverness Caledonian Thistle on trial.[3]
On 5 September 2007, Marsh signed for English Championship side Blackpool after a successful six-week trial.[4] On 7 May 2008, he was released by Blackpool without making a first-team appearance.[5] On 7 July, Marsh had a trial at Bury, scoring in each of the teams pre-season friendlies at Stockport County, Radcliffe Borough and at home to Huddersfield. Marsh was signed on non-contract terms by Northwich Victoria in September 2008,[6] making his first appearance in the 90th minute against Torquay United on 7 September 2008.[7] He left Northwich in September 2008, and was signed by Hyde United.[8][9]
