Born in Gaborone, Marumo began his career with Botswana Defence Force.[1] He signed for Egyptian side Haras El Hodood in February 2008, becoming the first Botswanan player to play in Egypt's top division.[2] He moved to South Africa in August 2010, signing with Bay United.[3] He ended his career with Polokwane City, also in South Africa.[1]
Marumo earned 85 caps for the Botswana national team between 1997 and 2015.[4] In January 2012 he was one of a number of national team players who went on strike over pay.[5] He initially retired from the national team in February 2012,[6] following the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations, but returned to the national team set up in July 2012.[7] He is the only ever goalkeeper to have been sent off in the duration of a penalty shootout.[8]
