Career edit

Marsh is a youth product of Sheffield United, and worked his way up their youth categories.[3]

On 4 August 2020, he signed a scholarship contract with the club [4] and in May 2022, he was offered another contract.[5] He scored 24 goals in all competitions during the 2022–23 season including 23 in the Professional Development League, garnering him attention from other clubs.[6]

After a prolific start in the Professional Development League for the 2023–24 season which included scoring two consecutive hat-tricks, Marsh started training with the senior Sheffield United side in August 2023 and appeared on the bench for a couple of Premier League matches.[7] He then made his senior and professional debut with Sheffield United as a substitute in a 0–0 (3–2) EFL Cup loss to Lincoln City on 30 August 2023.[8] before joining Doncaster Rovers on loan on transfer deadline day.
