Marlon who will turn 19 during his time at Aldershot (on December 6th), is also elligible to play in the FA Cup this weekend at Tranmere Rovers.

Speaking to the clubs official website, www.theshots.co.uk manager Kevin Dillon said: "We have a small squad at the club and we are looking to bring in two players before Thursday's deadline with Marlon being the first arrival.

"It is important to strengthen the squad. I like to have forwards available and have some fire power too. You have to have competition for places all the time to ensure that players don't rest on their laurels."
