Marosevic was drafted 5th overall by FC Dallas in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft and signed a Generation adidas contract. He was a member of the United States U-20 FIFA World Cup team in 2009, and has also played at the U-17 and U-18 levels for the U.S.

In 2010, Marosevic was loaned to the Austin Aztecs of USSF-Div 2 and was later waived by FC Dallas this season. He will be available for Toronto FC’s league match on Saturday July 30 against Portland Timbers in Portland.
