Marcus Bignot enjoyed an excellent professional career which spun over 26 years. He began hiscareer at Birmingham City in the youth side before moving to Telford United for regular playing time. His performances at this level were quickly noticed by bigger clubs and he made the move to Kidderminster Harriers following a four year stay with Telford.

His performances saw him rewarded with a move to First Division side Crewe Alexandra in 1997. During his first season with the club he was awarded the player of the season award, before he moved again in 2000 to Bristol Rovers on a free transfer. A change in management saw Bignot depart Rovers, and he signed for Queens Park Rangers.

Here, he won promotion to the Second Division and was resigned by QPR.
