Born at Belfast, Marks was educated at Methodist College Belfast.[1] Playing club cricket for North of Ireland Cricket Club and North Down in Belfast, Marks made his debut in first-class cricket for Ireland against Glamorgan at Margam during Ireland's 1953 tour of England and Wales.[2] Two further first-class appearances for Ireland followed, both against Scotland in 1954 and 1955.[2] He struggled with the bat in his three matches, scoring just 35 runs with a highest score of 17. In his capacity as a wicket-keeper, he took five catches and made two stumpings.[3] Outside of cricket, he was employed as a draughtsman at Harland and Wolff shipyard.[1] He died at Belfast in February 1996.[1]
