context_section_description: Born in Lewisham, London, Marquis progressed through the ranks of Millwall, signing a new contract in 2009. Soon after, he was promoted to the first team and featured in a friendly match against Welling and scored the winning goal, in a 3–2 win on 5 August 2009. A month later, on 5 September 2009, Marquis made his professional debut for Millwall, coming on as a second-half substitute for Gary Alexander, in a 2–0 defeat to Bristol Rovers.
  Following the end of a loan spell at Staines Town, Marquis had a run on the first-team substitute bench in the 2010–11 season, manager Kenny Jackett stating that he would not be loaned out. He made his first appearance of the 2010–11 season in a 2–1 win over Wycombe Wanderers in the first round of the League Cup. It was not until 9 November 2010 that he scored his first Millwall goal, and made his first league start, in a 1–1 draw against Norwich City. Marquis' first-team opportunities limited continued to be limited, though he regained his first-team place in April. He scored again, and set up a further goal, in a 4–0 win over Preston North End on 23 April 2011. This was followed up by scoring twice in the next game, in a 2–1 win over Scunthorpe United. At the end of the 2010–11 season, he signed a three-year contract with Millwall.
  Marquis started the 2011–12 season well when he scored in a 2–2 draw against Reading in the opening game of the season. After surgery for hernia problems, he returned to the first team on 17 September 2011, playing the whole of a 0–0 draw against rivals West Ham United. His 2011–12 season was plagued by injuries and he had to have surgery when the season ended.
  Marquis' injury problems continued in the 2012–13 season: he suffered a groin injury in September 2012 and was ruled out until 2013. It wasn't until 1 January 2013 that he returned to the first team from the substitutes' bench, in a 2–1 win over Bristol City. After returning to the first team against Burnley, in a 2–0 defeat, Marquis scored his first goal of the season in a 2–1 win over Aston Villa in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Despite being sidelined again from the first team later in the season, Marquis went on to make thirteen appearances, scoring once in all competitions.
  The 2013–14 season saw Marquis out of the first team at Millwall following a groin injury sustained during the club's pre–season tour and subsequently loaned out to Portsmouth in search of first-team football. Following the end of his loan spell, he signed a new one-year contract with Millwall on 30 January 2014. Soon after, he came on as a second-half substitute in a 3–0 loss against Reading on 1 February 2014. After a loan spell at Northampton Town, Marquis' next appearance came on 22 March 2014, in a 2–1 defeat to Leeds United, before he was again loaned out to Northampton Town for a second time in the season.
  Marquis spent most of the 2014–15 season on loan to two other clubs, and missed the start of the season with injury. However, he made two Millwall appearances, against Southampton and Norwich City. Despite being loaned out for the most of the season again, new Millwall manager Neil Harris stated that Marquis would be offered a new contract by the club, a one-year deal that Marquis signed on 27 May 2015.
  Following Millwall's relegation to League One, Marquis played his first Millwall match since December 2014, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–1 win over Shrewsbury Town in the opening game of the season. However, with just twelve appearances in all competitions in the 2015–16 season, Marquis' first-team opportunities were limited for the third time in three seasons. At the end of the 2015–16 season, Marquis was released by the club.
