Marcel Lorber (born 26 April 2004) is a Slovenian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Croatian Football League club Lokomotiva Zagreb.
Born in Maribor,[2] Lorber spent his youth in Cerovec pod Bočem in the Municipality of Rogaška Slatina, and started his football career at local club Rogaška.[4] At the age of 14, he moved to Aluminij, before joining Maribor in 2021.[4][5] After initially spending two years playing for Maribor's under-19 team, he made his senior debut with the "Purples" in a Slovenian Cup round of 16 match against Rudar Velenje on 8 March 2023, which Maribor won 4–0.[4][6] He scored his first senior goal against Mura on 7 October 2023, helping his team to a 3–1 victory.[2][7]
Lorber had a breakthrough season in 2023–24, making 26 appearances in all competitions in the first half of the season, although his season was cut short by injury in January.[8] He ended the season with 37 appearances as Maribor finished as the league's runners-up, behind Celje.[1]
He joined Slovenian top division club Domžale on a free transfer in September 2024,[9] and made his debut for the club in the same month in a goalless draw against Bravo.[10]
