Club career

Marcq spent his entire youth career at his hometown club US Boulogne which he joined in 1996. He came up through the ranks of the youth system and joined the club's first team in 2006, while they were playing in third tier Championnat National. He made his club debut during the 2006–07 Championnat National season appearing as a late match substitute in a 1–0 victory over Louhans-Cuiseaux.[1] He would make eleven more appearances contributing to Boulogne's promotion to Ligue 2 for the 2006–07 season. Boulogne spent two seasons in Ligue 2 making 63 league appearances before earning promotion to Ligue 1 for the 2009–10 season. In 10 September 2009, Marcq signed a two-year contract extension.

On 28 June 2010, Marcq completed a transfer to newly promoted Ligue 1 club Stade Malherbe Caen having agreed to a three-year contract while Caen paid Boulogne a transfer fee of €2 million.[2]

In June 2012, Marcq joined CS Sedan Ardennes on loan.[3]

With his three-year contract with Caen expiring, Marcq signed a two-year contract with the Belgian Pro League side Sporting Charleroi in June 2013.[4]

International career

On 25 May 2009, Marcq was called up, for the first time, to the France under-21 team that participated in the Toulon Tournament.[5] He made his under-21 debut in the tournament in the squad's final group stage match against Chile.
