Club career
Son of former Arsenal player Brian Marwood, James Marwood began his career as a youth team player with Newcastle United, before playing for English non-league sides Blyth Spartans and Team Northumbria. After joining Gateshead in 2010, he went on to make over 100 appearances for the club.
Having been utilised as a winger, Marwood moved to a striking position in season 2013–14, resulting in him being the club's top goalscorer.
St Mirren
On 26 June 2014, Marwood signed a one-year contract with St Mirren, with the option of a further year. Marwood made his competitive debut for the club against Motherwell on 9 August 2014, in the Scottish Premiership. On 20 January 2015, Marwood left St Mirren, with his contract being cancelled by mutual consent.

He scored his first goal for the club on 10 February 2015 in a 2-2 away draw against Alfreton Town. At the end of the 2014–15 season he helped Forest Green to the play-offs, only to be denied a second consecutive year of appearing in the final because of a semi-final defeat against Bristol Rovers.
Gateshead
On 24 June 2015 it was announced that Marwood had left Forest Green and re-signed for Gateshead. After missing the majority of the season with an ankle injury, Marwood was released at the end of the 2015–16 season.
