He added: ‘There’s no doubt he’s been superb this year, coming back from the injury he had last season when he had surgery and missed quite a large chunk of the season.
‘He came back, got himself going in the last four and then has been just superb week in, week out for us.
‘As a leader he’s right up there in terms of characters I’ve played with and coached over the years. When I say right up there, I mean at the top in terms of how he galvanises dressing rooms and runs the dressing room.
‘I never have get involved in anything there, because Marlon and a few of the other boys marshal it so well.
‘He’s got that changing room going. Everyone who’s spoken about that group is bang on, they’re a very close-knit group and they enjoy themselves while working incredibly hard.
‘A lot of that is down to Marlon and the senior leadership.’
