Career

[edit]

Vejle

[edit]

Marxen was born in Middelfart.[1] He began his career in the youth academy of the local club Middelfart G&BK where he played alongside the likes of Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Falk.[1] He eventually joined Vejle Boldklub, and made his professional debut on 13 April 2009 in a 4–1 loss in the Danish Superliga to FC Copenhagen. He came on as a late substitute for Marc Pedersen.[2] On 10 June 2009, he signed a contract until 2011 which promoted him to the first team.[2]

Horsens

[edit]

An integral part of the Vejle side in the second-tier 1st Division, in January 2013 he signed a contract with AC Horsens that would see him move in the summer transfer window.[3]

Randers

[edit]

On 9 March 2015, it was announced that Marxen would join Randers FC on a three-year deal starting from 1 July 2015.[4] He made his debut on 2 July 2015 in a 1–0 away win over Andorran club UE Sant Julià in the UEFA Europa League, coming on as a substitute for goalscorer Jonas Borring in the 82nd minute.[5] He made his domestic league debut for the club on 9 August in a 3–3 home draw against Brøndby.[6] Marxen scored his first goal for the club on 23 November in a 3–2 defeat away against AaB.[7] The goal was a special one, as Marxen scored directly from a corner kick, swerving over AaB-goalkeeper Nicolai Larsen.[8]

On 23 June 2018, Marxen extended his contract with Randers until December 2020.[9]

Marxen was appointed the new team captain of Randers on 30 January 2019, taking over the role from Nicolai Poulsen who would leave the club as a free agent for rivals AGF.[10] The following season, he won his first trophy as Randers clinched the Danish Cup victory in a 4–0 beatdown of SønderjyskE in the final, with Marxen scoring the opening goal in the second minute.[11][12]

Nordsjælland

[edit]

On 22 December 2021 FC Nordsjælland confirmed, that Marxen had signed four-year contract with the club, starting in January 2022.[13] He made his competitive debut on 20 February in a 2–0 league loss to Brøndby, starting at centre-back.[14]
