Club Career

Portsmouth

Born in Portsmouth, Hampshire, Pack became a first year scholar in the 2007–08 season playing regularly for the academy and occasionally for the reserves. The following season he became a regular in the reserve team and remained a key player in the academy side. By the time he signed a one-year professional contract at the end of the 2008–09 season, he had played more than 50 games for Portsmouth's junior teams. He made his debut in the League Cup against Crystal Palace on 24 August 2010 as an extra time substitute, scoring in the subsequent penalty shoot out.

Wycombe Wanderers

On 31 August 2009, Pack joined Wycombe Wanderers of Football League One on a one-month youth loan. Pack made his debut in the Football League five days later as a second-half substitute in a narrow loss to Brighton & Hove Albion. He made nine appearances in all competitions for Wycombe, where he remained until 26 October when new manager Gary Waddock chose not to extend the loan further.

Dagenham & Redbridge

In January 2010, he went on loan to Dagenham & Redbridge. Marlon was scheduled to return to Portsmouth on 6 April 2010 as his maximum 94-day loan spell would have ended at the club. Furthermore, as the loan window had closed Dagenham were unable to renew the loan deal until the end of the Football League season. He scored his first goal for the Daggers in what turned out to be his final appearance for the team, a 3–1 defeat to Port Vale on 5 April 2010.

Cheltenham Town

Pack signed on a season-long loan for Cheltenham Town on 31 August 2010 making his debut on 4 September in a 3–1 away defeat to Barnet. He was then awarded the player of the month for his performances in November. O
