Career
Marple joined Burslem Port Vale in September 1894, scoring on his debut in a 2–1 defeat to Bury at the Athletic Ground on the 15th of that month. He was only to play one more Second Division game however, before his release, which probably came at the end of the 1894–95 season.Career statistics
