English term or phrase: marauding forward/full-back
what does 'marauding forward/full-back' means, does it means the player who wondering around the pitch to find an opportunity to score or give an assist, OR it means 'the player bully an opponent'.

(The substitute picked the perfect time to score his first competitive goal for his country, marauding forward before letting fly with a bullet shot from 25 meters in the 109th minute.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDuOxiptlyQ (EDER GOAL Euro2016 Portugal 1 - France 0)

with the added context, yes, the full back is leaving his own zone to head into enemy territory to see what he can pillage!
