Early life

Coventry City

On 22 May 2019, Marosi agreed to join Coventry City on a three-year deal upon the expiry of his contract on 30 June 2019.[12]

Shrewsbury Town

Maroši signed for Shrewsbury Town on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee on 24 June 2021.[13] After three years and making over 100 appearances for the club, Marosi left Shrewsbury at the end of the 2023-24 season.

Plymouth Argyle

On 13 September 2024, Maroši signed for Plymouth Argyle F.C. on a short-term deal until at least January 2025.[14]
