Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Born in Stourbridge,[2] March began his career with Alvechurch,[3] becoming the club's first contracted player in a decade in May 2017,[4] and scoring 81 goals in 184 matches, being described as "an integral part in [the club's] rise from the Midland Alliance to the Southern Premier".[5] He then played for Leamington for the 2019–20 season, scoring 24 goals in 27 games,[6] before signing for League Two side Forest Green Rovers in January 2020.[7][8] He missed the start of the 2020–21 season due to a thigh injury.[9]

On 5 January 2021, March joined League Two side Harrogate Town on loan until the end of the 2020–21 season.[10][11] His loan ended on 11 March 2021 after he suffered an injury in a match.[12]

He signed for Stevenage in January 2023.[13] Following promotion to League One, March signed a new contract with the club in May 2023.[14]

On 1 September 2023, March returned to League Two and to Harrogate Town for an undisclosed fee.[15][16]

Crewe Alexandra

[edit]

On 22 May 2025, March agreed to join fellow League Two side Crewe Alexandra on a two-year deal from 1 July upon the expiration of his Harrogate Town contract.[17][18] He made his debut in the side's 3–1 opening day win at Salford City on 2 August 2025,[19] and scored his first Crewe goal in the side's 4–1 victory at Fleetwood Town on 19 August 2025.[20]

After 11 goals in 40 league appearances in his first season, in June 2026 he agreed a one-year extension to his contract, committing himself to Crewe until the summer of 2028.[21] He started Crewe's 2026–2027 season with two goals in two matches, and was nominated for the League Two Player of the Month award for August.[22]
