Marcus Bignot also played for Birmingham City, Telford United, Brackley Town and Sollihull Moors.

He joined Bristol Rovers in August 2000 and scored his first-ever senior goal in only his second match for his new club in the 2-1 Worthington Cup victory at Plymouth Argyle.

Marcus followed this up with a goal for the Pirates after just 27 seconds against Bristol City at Ashton Gate, setting a new record for the quickest strike in a Bristol 'derby'.

One of the most consistent players for Rovers during the 2000-01 season, he subsequently followed his old manager Ian Holloway to Queens Park Rangers.

Having initially appeared as a right wing back for the Loftus Road club, he later switched to a central midfield role where his ball-winning talents were much in evidence.

Marcus returned to QPR in March 2004 with a contract to June 2005 that was extended to June 2007 in March 2005.

However, he was made available for transfer in May 2006 prior to agreeing a new one-year contract in June 2007.

After a loan spell, Marcus joined Millwall in January 2008 with a contract to June 2009.
