Paul Anthony Marshall (born 9 July 1989) is an English semi-professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for National League North side Alfreton Town.
Beginning his career with Manchester City, after several years in the youth ranks he turned professional with the club in 2008. He enjoyed loan spells with Blackpool, Port Vale, and Aberdeen; before transferring to Walsall for the 2010–11 season. After leaving Walsall he signed with Rochdale and then non-league Droylsden. He re-joined Port Vale on non-contract terms in February 2012, before signing with FC Halifax Town five months later. He signed with Stockport County in February 2013, before returning to Halifax Town later in the year. He signed with Bradford Park Avenue in May 2015, and then Alfreton Town in October 2016.
Marshall is a product of the Manchester City Youth Academy, which he joined when he was 11 years old. In the 2006–07 season, he made his debut for the club's reserve side in the Premier Reserve League North, scoring four goals in eight starts. He also scored the final goal as City beat Manchester United 3–1 in the final of the Manchester Senior Cup. At the end of the 2006-07 season, Marshall signed his first professional contract with Manchester City.
In the 2008–09 season, he was given the squad number 46 and became a regular in the reserves. After scoring for the reserves and being named "Man of the Match" in their 3–0 victory over Newcastle United Reserves, on 29 January 2009 he signed for Championship club Blackpool on loan, initially for one month until 28 February, with the possibility of extending it until the end of the season. Blackpool's assistant manager, Steve Thompson, said of Marshall: "We have been watching Paul for a few weeks now and every time we have seen him play he has impressed us. He has a sweet left foot and has an excellent range of passing, he has a presence in midfield and I'm sure he will do well for us."
