James Marwood (born 21 May 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward.
Club career
[edit]Son of former Arsenal player Brian Marwood,[1] James Marwood began his career as a youth team player with Newcastle United, before playing for English non-league sides Blyth Spartans and Team Northumbria. After joining Gateshead in 2010, he went on to make over 100 appearances for the club.
Having been utilised as a winger, Marwood moved to a striking position in season 2013–14, resulting in him being the club's top goalscorer.[2]
St Mirren
[edit]On 26 June 2014, Marwood signed a one-year contract with St Mirren, with the option of a further year.[1] He made his competitive debut for the club against Motherwell on 9 August 2014, in the Scottish Premiership.[3] On 20 January 2015, he left St Mirren, with his contract being cancelled by mutual consent.[4]
Forest Green Rovers
[edit]On 23 January 2015, it was announced that Marwood had signed for Conference Premier side Forest Green Rovers on an 18-month contract.[5] He made his debut for the club on 31 January 2015 as a substitute in a 1–0 home win over Nuneaton Town.[6] He scored his first goal for the club on 10 February 2015 in a 2–2 away draw against Alfreton Town.[7] At the end of the 2014–15 season he helped Forest Green to the play-offs, only to be denied a second consecutive year of appearing in the final because of a semi-final defeat against Bristol Rovers.[8]
Gateshead
[edit]On 24 June 2015, it was announced that Marwood had left Forest Green and re-signed for Gateshead.[9] After missing the majority of the season with a career ending injury, Marwood retired that season.
International career
[edit]Marwood earned a call up to the England C team in May 2014, alongside Gateshead teammate Marcus Maddison.[10] He made his unofficial debut in a 2–2 draw with Sparta Prague B on 21 May 2014,[11] before making his official debut three days later as a late substitute in a 1–0 defeat to Slovakia U23.[12] He made his first international start on 28 May 2014 in a 4–2 defeat against Hungary U23.[13]
