After joining Colchester, Marshall-Miranda was sent out on loan to Isthmian League Premier Division side Worthing in December 2019.[4] His loan was extended for a further month in January 2020,[6] before being recalled on 30 January. He scored one goal in six appearances for the club.[7]

Marshall-Miranda made his professional debut for Colchester on 5 September 2020, coming on as a second-half substitute for Ben Stevenson in a 3–1 EFL Cup defeat to Reading.[8]
