Career
Solberg was born in Aarhus, Denmark, and started his career in the youth ranks at HEI in Aarhus, before he was picked up by AGF, where he earned the nickname "Hulk". He played a number of years in the youth and reserve teams for the club, before making his Danish Superliga debut on 4 March 2013, playing the last 6 minutes in an away match against Esbjerg fB.
In May 2015, Solberg signed with Silkeborg IF on a two-year contract.{{cite news |last1=Rubeck |first1=Katrine |title=SIF henter Marcus Solberg |url=http://www.tv2oj.dk/node/57213 |work=TV2/Østjylland |date=26 May 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170108094559/http://www.tv2oj.dk/node/57213 |archive-date=8 January 2017 |language=da}} On 15 April 2016, it was announced that Solberg was sent on loan to Fjölnir for the remainder of 2016,{{cite news |last1=Sørensen |first1=Peter A. |title=SIF udlejer angriber |url=http://www.mja.dk/artikel/sif-udlejer-angriber |work=Midtjyllands Avis |date=15 April 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170203075959/http://www.mja.dk/artikel/sif-udlejer-angriber |archive-date=3 February 2017 |language=da}} and in November 2016, he permanently signed with the club, despite having six months left on his contract with Silkeborg.{{cite news |last1=Jensen |first1=Kenneth |title=Silkeborg siger farvel til 'Hulk' |url=https://www.tipsbladet.dk/nyhed/superliga/silkeborg-siger-farvel-til-hulk |work=Tipsbladet.dk |date=17 November 2016 |language=da}}
In January 2018, Solberg moved to Vendsyssel FF,{{cite news |last1=Margren |first1=Sara |title=Vendsyssel henter Marcus Solberg |url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/vendsyssel-henter-marcus-solberg/ |work=bold.dk |date=23 January 2018 |language=da}} and helped them secure promotion to the Danish Superliga a few months later.{{cite news |last1=Steffensen |first1=Jens Skriver |title=Vendsyssel FF er i Superligaen efter sejr i Lyngby |url=https://www.tv2nord.dk/vendsyssel-ff-er-i-superligaen/vendsyssel-ff-er-i-superligaen-efter-sejr-i-lyngby |work=TV2 Nord |date=27 May 2018 |language=da}} He was loaned out to second-tier club Thisted FC in late January 2019, as he did not have prospects of playing time for Vendsyssel.{{cite web |title=Vendsyssel FF udlejer Marcus Solberg til Thisted FC |url=https://www.vendsysselff.dk/vendsyssel-ff-udlejer-marcus-solberg-til-thisted-fc/ |website=Vendsyssel FF |language=da-DK |date=31 January 2019}}{{cite news |last1=Sørensen |first1=Leon |title=Thisted FC henter konkurrent til topscorer |url=https://www.limfjordupdate.dk/thisted-fc-henter-konkurrent-til-topscorer |work=Limfjord Update |date=1 February 2019 |language=da-DK}}
