Club career

Born in Banjul, Marreh made his senior debuts with Abuko United FC. In 2011, he was spotted by Gambia U-17's staff ahead of 2011 African U-17 Championship, and despite being left out of the final cut, he joined Samger FC.[2] In March 2014 he moved to Granada CF in Spain, being assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B, for a reported fee of one million dalasi.[3]

Marreh made his senior debut with the side on 15 March 2014, starting in a 0–0 draw against FC Cartagena;[4] roughly a month later he netted his first goal abroad, scoring the first of a 6–1 home win over Écija Balompié.[5]

On 21 March, Marreh was called up to the Andalusians' main squad ahead of the La Liga match against Elche CF;[6] he remained on the bench in the 1–0 win at the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes, however.[7] He made his first-team debut on 17 October, starting in a 0–1 home loss against Rayo Vallecano.[8]

On 10 July 2017, after having his federative rights assigned to Watford, Marreh was loaned to Segunda División club Real Valladolid for one year.[9] The following January, his loan with Valladolid was cancelled and he joined UD Almería on a loan deal for the remainder of the campaign.[10][11]

In March 2019 Belgian First Division A club Eupen announced they had taken up the option to sign Marreh on a contract until June 2021, having initially signed him on loan for the 2018–19 season.[12]

International career

After being left out of the under-17 squad, Marreh made his debut with the main squad on 9 February 2011, coming on as a substitute in a 1–3 loss against Guinea-Bissau at Lisbon, Portugal.[13] He played his first official match on 15 June of the following year, starting in a 1–4 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualification loss against Algeria.[14] He played in the 2021 Africa cup of Nations, his national team's first continental tournament, where they made a sensational quarter-final.[15][16]
