Crystal Palace

On 21 August 2010, Marrow signed for Crystal Palace on a six-month loan.[11] He made his debut for the club, as Crystal Palace lost 2–1 to Ipswich Town on 21 August 2010.[12] Under the management reign of George Burley, Marrow's first team opportunities increased and he was awarded man of the match against Queens Park Rangers and fans called for his loan spell with Crystal Palace to be extended.[13] During his loan with the club, Marrow made 18 appearances before signing permanently for the Eagles for an undisclosed fee, on a contract until 2013.[14]

In July 2011, Marrow returned to full training following his recovery from the ankle injury.[19] In September 2011, Marrow was available to play ahead of a match against Wigan Athletic, but wasn't included in the squad.[20] Once again, Marrow was ruled out through injury.[21] In January 2012, Marrow was fit again, and he expected to be available for selection by the end of the month.[22] Marrow made his first Crystal Palace appearance for a year, in a 2–1 loss against Blackpool on 21 January 2012.[23]

On 13 January 2014, Marrow returned to Fleetwood Town for a second loan spell with the club, until the end of the season.[38] After joining Fleetwood Town, Marrow expressed happiness on his return and aim to play a key role for the club this season.[39] Marrow scored on his return, in his second loan spell at Fleetwood Town, where Fleetwood Town beat Hartlepool United 2–0 on 18 January 2014.[40] In the next match against Burton Albion, on 25 January 2014, Marrow scored an own goal, though Fleetwood Town would win 4–2.[41] Just making seven appearances, Marrow was absent from the squad for the remainder of the season, due to illness, where the club would be promoted to League One.[42]

Following his loan spell at Fleetwood Town, Marrow was among six players to be transfer listed ahead of a new season.[43] On 15 July 2014, Blackburn released him by mutual consent.[44]

Carlisle United

On 15 July 2014, the same day as his release from Blackburn, Marrow signed for League Two side Carlisle United on a one-year deal.[45] Upon joining Carlisle United, Marrow stated his aims for the just-relegated Carlisle to bounce back to League One and for him to get increased playing time.[46] He made his Carlisle debut in the opening match of the 2014–15 season, a 1–0 defeat to Luton Town. He was released by Carlisle halfway through the season because of a fall out with the club.[47]
