Marvin Anthony Michael McCoy (born 2 October 1988) is a semi-professional footballer who plays as a defender for Cray Wanderers. Born in England, he has represented Antigua and Barbuda internationally.
Born in Walthamstow, London, [4] McCoy was part of the youth teams of Leyton, Arsenal and Watford before becoming a trainee with the latter. [5] [6] He was released by Watford in the summer of 2007 having not been given a professional contract, and joined League Two club Hereford United on 31 August on a one-month contract. [6] [7] In December 2007, he made his debut for Isthmian League Premier Division club Harrow Borough in a 1–0 defeat to Staines Town in the Middlesex Senior Cup, which proved to be his only appearance for the club. [8] [9] He returned to Isthmian League Premier Division Leyton in January 2008, [5] before signing for Wealdstone, of the same division, on 6 August 2008. [10]
McCoy played impressively for Wealdstone in the 2008–09 season, in which he made 34 appearances, and was rewarded with a new contract in June 2009. [11] [12] He was named the club's Player of the Year, being awarded the Jock Law trophy, after being chosen by the club's supporters for his performances in 2009–10. [13] He was also named the Players' Player of the Year, [13] for a season in which he made 50 appearances and scored one goal. [14] During this time he also worked in CCTV management in the Kings Cross area of London. [15]
McCoy entered the professional game after signing for Wycombe Wanderers of League Two on 27 July 2010 on a one-year contract for an undisclosed fee, after impressing on trial. [16] He made his debut for Wycombe on 10 August 2010 in their League Cup first round 2–1 defeat to Millwall at Adams Park. [17] He did not make his Football League debut until 3 January 2011 in a 1–0 home win over Gillingham, [17] before making the right back position his own ahead of Danny Foster. [18] McCoy signed a new contract with Wycombe in March 2011, tying him to the club until the summer of 2013. [19] He helped Wycombe earn promotion to League One after finishing third in League Two in 2010–11, [20] appearing 25 times. [17]
McCoy made 32 appearances for Wycombe in 2011–12, which culminated in the club being relegated after one year in League One. [21] He sustained ankle ligament damage during Wycombe's 1–0 away defeat to Watford in the League Cup on 11 August 2012, and only returned to the team four months later in a 2–0 loss away to Yeovil Town in the Football League Trophy on 4 December. [22] [23] [24] He signed a new one-year contract in July 2013, after making 11 appearances in 2012–13. [23] [25]
