Mark James Duffy (born 7 October 1985) is an English professional footballer who plays as a right winger for Sheffield United.
Career
Born in Liverpool, Duffy played for the youth teams of both home-town club Liverpool and Welsh team Wrexham.[3] Duffy began his senior career playing non-League football for Vauxhall Motors, Prescot Cables and Southport.[4]
Duffy stated that, early in his career, he lost his love of football and began working as a scaffolder and as a sports coach for the council.[5]
Duffy signed for League Two club Morecambe on loan in February 2009,[6] before making the move permanent in the summer.
Duffy moved to Championship side Scunthorpe United on 20 January 2011 for an undisclosed fee, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract.[7][8] He made his debut two days later, in a 0–0 draw at home to Burnley.[9]
He moved to Doncaster Rovers in July 2013.[10]
Duffy signed a two-year contract with Birmingham City in June 2014 after activating his relegation release clause at Doncaster Rovers.[11] He made his debut as a second-half substitute in the opening-day defeat at Middlesbrough, and his first League start for the club on 27 September, in a 2–1 home defeat to Fulham; Duffy was substituted at half-time, at which point Birmingham were leading.[12] After appearing only once more in the league by the end of January 2015, he spent a month on loan to League One club Chesterfield, where he made one start and two substitute appearances.[12][13]
Before the start of the 2015–16 season, Duffy joined Burton Albion, newly promoted to League One, on loan until 2 January 2016.[14] In pre-season, Burton manager Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink used him in a playmaker role,[15] and he began the league season as a regular selection in the starting eleven.[16] In the opening match, Scunthorpe goalkeeper Luke Daniels was sent off for elbowing Duffy in the head; the resulting penalty gave Burton a 2–1 win.[17]
After the initial loan period expired, it was extended to the end of the season.[18] Duffy completed the season having missed only one league match, against Walsall in February after twisting his ankle in training.[16][19] He scored eight goals[16] and provided numerous assists[20] as Burton were promoted to the Championship as League One runners-up. His performances earned him selection in the PFA League One Team of the Year.[20]
He was released by Birmingham at the end of the season,[21] and signed a two-year contract with League One club Sheffield United.[22]
Duffy won promotion from Sky Bet League One for a second successive year in 2017, and was also named in the PFA Team of the Year for a second time.[23]
