Born in Lambeth and raised in Northolt, Marqes Muir is a central defender who primarily operates on the right-hand side.

Having attended The John Lyon School in north-west London, Marqes has been part of the Academy set-up at the Club since he was eight.

After being named once as an unused substitute for our Under-18s in 2018/19, he was a regular starter at that level during his first full season as a scholar in 2019/20, playing 19 games in all competitions and making his debut in the Under-19 UEFA Youth League against Bayern Munich in December, 2019.

Marqes again played regularly in defence for the Under-18s during the 2020/21 season, making 24 appearances and scoring his first goal in a home victory over Norwich City in May, 2021. He also stepped up to make two appearances for our Development Squad in the Premier League 2 and signed his first professional contract in January, 2021.

He made the permanent step up to Development Squad level for the 2021/22 season and made 15 appearances in all competitions.
