Marvin Brown (born July 16, 1983) is an English football forward. After playing league football, he now plays for Conference South side Weston-super-Mare.

Brown was born in Bristol and began his career as a trainee with Bristol City. On his City debut, as a second-half substitute for Alex Meechan in the League Cup defeat away to Nottingham Forest on September 15, 1999 he became their youngest ever player, aged 16 years and 71 days. Brown’s league debut came a month later, on October 17, 1999 when he came on as a late substitute for Tony Thorpe in a goalless draw at home to local rivals Bristol Rovers. He made one further league appearance and two in the Football League Trophy, all as substitute, that season.

Unable to establish himself in the first team, Brown joined Torquay United on loan on September 27, 2002,[1] playing three times before returning to Ashton Gate. In January 2003, Brown joined Cheltenham Town on loan until the end of the season,[2] playing regularly as Cheltenham narrowly failed to avoid relegation back to the Third Division.

Brown played twice for Bristol City the following season before released in May 2004. He subsequently joined Conference side Forest Green Rovers,[3] but appeared only as a substitute before joining Tamworth on September 25, 2004.[4] His stay at Tamworth was not a long one, joining Irish side Cliftonville on trial in November 2004.[5]

In March 2005, Brown returned to the Football League, joining Yeovil Town, but played just twice before being released at the end of the season.

Brown joined Weston-super-Mare at the start of the 2005-06 season and was top scorer that season. He was leading scorer again for Weston when he left on the 8th March 2007 to join Conference South rivals Salisbury City.[6]

In the Summer of 2008 Brown was transfer listed by Salisbury City boss Nick Holmes[7]

His older brother Aaron is also a professional footballer.

He joined his local team, Bristol City, at an early age, becoming a trainee and turning professional in August 1998. He had a spell on loan at Exeter City in January 2000 before establishing himself at Ashton Gate and becoming a popular player amongst the Ashton Gate faithful. After recovering from a serious leg injury, Brown felt that it was time to move on to progress his career and much to many City fans’ disgust (fuelled by comments made by Brown) he joined Queens Park Rangers in July 2004. His QPR career was plagued with injuries, and he had loan spells with Torquay United (March to May 2005) and Cheltenham Town (September to October 2005). After an unsuccessful trial with Barnsley, Brown joined Swindon Town on loan in November 2005. The deal became permanent in January 2006. Brown thanked the then Swindon boss Iffy Onuora and the club for saving his career. On Brown’s return to Ashton Gate, Swindon’s relegation was confirmed. With Swindon needing a win, they only managed to produce a draw despite Brown’s fine performance which was capped off by an impressive solo goal. During the pre-season of 2006-07, Brown requested a transfer away from the County Ground, stating that he needed to pursue his career at a higher level. A trial at Doncaster Rovers followed an offer from Brentford which Brown turned down as he felt he could find a “better club” but he returned to the club after his unsuccessful trial period. A pre-season friendly appearance at home to Crystal Palace after requesting to be taken off the transfer list saw Brown booed and jeered by the home fans. Despite this, he resolved to remain at the club and work hard to regain his place. On 9 May 2007 it was announced that Brown was one of six players released by Swindon boss Paul Sturrock and on 20 June 2007 he signed for Gillingham.[1] He scored his first goal for Gillingham against Bristol Rovers on 27 October 2007, but was transfer listed on 2008-06-05.[2]. It was announced on June 30th that he had joined Lincoln City on one year deal after his contract at Gillingham was terminated.[1]

In January 2008 after recovering from injury he joined League One side Cheltenham Town on a one month loan in order to regain match fitness.[3]

Due to a knee injury, Brooker made his first appearance at Ashton Gate for Bristol City in the 2007–08 season on 29 March, when he scored an injury time header to win against Norwich City 2–1, then putting Bristol City back to the top of the league.

Further injuries reduced his impact at the end of the 2007-08 season but he started the 2008-09 season well by coming off the bench to get the late winners at Blackpool, Peterborough United and Coventry City.

On the November 2008 loan window deadline day, he joined Doncaster Rovers on a one month loan with a view to a permanent deal. He came on as a substitute for his Rovers debut against Watford and scored with his first touch to give his new team a 1–1 draw. Unfortunately, Brooker suffered a torn calf muscle in training and returned to Ashton Gate.[4]
