Marc Torrejon is the brother of Marta Torrejon, a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a defender for FC Barcelona.

Marc just like his sister is also a footballer and he played as a defender.
Marc was a product of hometown RCD Espanyol’s youth ranks and he spent the 2005–06 season on loan to Málaga CF’s reserves in the second division and, upon returning to Espanyol, became a defensive centerpiece alongside another club trainee, Daniel Jarque.
His La Liga debut came on 1 October 2006, in a 0–0 away draw against CA Osasuna.
About three years later, on 17 July 2009, Marc signed a four-year contract with Racing de Santander for €1,6 million and was arguably the most solid defender for the Cantabrians in his first year, only being booked four times in the league, although the side barely escaped relegation.

Marc left Racing at the end of 2011–12, which ended in relegation and on 26 August 2012, he joined German club 1. FC Kaiserslautern on a three-year contract.
He made his league debut against MSV Duisburg on 16 September, playing the full 90 minutes in a home 2–1 win, and scored his first goal in the 2. Bundesliga on 5 May, in a 4–1 home victory over FSV Frankfurt.
On 27 August 2014, Marc moved to the Bundesliga after signing with SC Freiburg for an undisclosed fee.
He played his first game in the German top level exactly one month later, as an 80th-minute substitute for Jonathan Schmid in a goalless home draw with Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
At the international level, Marc won 14 caps for Spain at youth level and participated at the 2009 UEFA European Championship with the under-21 team, scoring in the 2–0 group stage win over Finland.
