Mostly playing as a centreman or across half-forward, Marker started his career at Glenelg in 1967. He was appointed captain in 1971 by coach Neil Kerley and went on to win Glenelg's 'Best & fairest' award in the same year. Marker remained Glenelg's captain until the end of the 1977 season in a stint which included the 1973 SANFL premiership over North Adelaide. Although he never won a Magarey Medal he finished a single vote shy in both 1971 and 1975.

Following his retirement from football, Peter Marker moved into the media where he became a highly respected and regarded sports presenter and football commentator firstly for Channel 9 then Channel 7 and finally Channel 10 in Adelaide. Marker was a regular voice for South Australian football during the 1980s working alongside Ian Day, Robert Oatey, Bruce McAvaney, Rick Keegan and Graham Campbell.
