Lloyd Joshua Macklin (born 2 August 1991) is a former English footballer who played in the Football League with Swindon Town and Torquay United.

Biography

Macklin went on a pre-season tour of Austria with Swindon Town in the summer of 2007 when he was only 15 years old. He came through the ranks at Swindon and made a senior appearance in the home pre-season friendly with Bristol City. He then became the youngest ever player to represent Swindon at first team level, when he came on as a substitute against Brentford in the Football League Trophy in September 2007. He went on to feature for the youth and reserve teams as the 2007-08 campaign was played out, and continued working his way up through 2008-09. He made a couple of first team appearances towards the end of 2008-09.[3]

On 19 February 2010, he joined Torquay United on loan for a month before joining on a permanent basis on 30 June 2010 as a free agent, following Swindon Town's failure to offer him a new contract. In October 2010, Macklin signed a contract extension that kept him at Plainmoor for a further two-years, until 2013. Macklin scored his first senior hat-trick for Torquay and in professional football against Cheltenham Town in the Football League Trophy on 30 August 2011, in a 4-3 defeat.[4] At the end of the 2012-13 season, Macklin was one of seven players who did not feature in manager Alan Knill's plans and as a result was released.

Macklin signed for Farnborough in October 2013, before joining Chippenham Town in December.[5] He was released by the Bluebirds a month later, after missing training.[6]

After a successful 2014-2015 pre-season with Basingstoke Town, Macklin signed for them ready for the start of the new campaign. After two seasons at the Camrose, he joined Hayes & Yeading in May 2016[7] before signing for Metropolitan Police in October 2016, scoring on his debut against Grays Athletic. [8]

Macklin signed for Welling United just after the start of the 2017-2018 season, but returned to Metropolitian Police in October 2017 after making just five appearances. [9]

Macklin signed for Brighton-based National League South side Whitehawk in March 2018 [10] but announced his retirement at the end of the 2017-18 season. [11]
