Marvin Nicholas Johnson (born 1 December 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays for Sheffield United, on loan from Middlesbrough, as a winger.

Career

Early career

Johnson began his career with Solihull Moors, and spent a loan spell at Coleshill Town.[3] While a Solihull Moors player he won the County FA Cup in May 2009 representing Birmingham FA.[4] In March 2010 he was linked with a transfer to Rushall Olympic,[5] but he instead signed for Romulus, and was their top scorer in the 2011–12 season.[6][7]

While playing for Romulus, Johnson had a five-day trial at Championship club Burnley in December 2011, and also received interest from League Two side Crewe Alexandra.[8] He moved from Romulus to Kidderminster Harriers in February 2012.[9] In January 2013 he received interest from a number of Football League clubs, including Crewe Alexandra, Colchester United and Northampton Town.[10]

After a loan spell with Hednesford Town at the end of the 2013–14 season,[11][12] Johnson signed a new one-year contract with the Harriers in June 2014.[13]

Motherwell

In February 2015 he was one of four players to sign for Scottish club Motherwell on transfer deadline day.[14] Before signing with Motherwell he had been in advanced talks with Football League club Yeovil Town.[15] Johnson signed a three-year contract extension with Motherwell in June 2015.[16]

Oxford United

On 31 August 2016, transfer deadline day, Johnson signed for Oxford United of League One for an undisclosed sum[17] which according to the Oxford Mail is believed to be a club record fee, in the region of £650,000.[18] On 23 November, the same week his second child was born, he scored his first goal for the club, the only goal in a 1–0 League One victory over Gillingham at the Kassam Stadium.[19] In his first season, having already appeared 9 times for Motherwell (scoring 4 times), Johnson made 52 appearances for Oxford (39 of them in league fixtures) and scored 6 goals (3 in the league).[20] He played in the final of the League Trophy at Wembley (a game Oxford lost 2–1 to Coventry City).[21]

Middlesbrough

After prolonged speculation about his Oxford future, during which he was linked with Hull City and Birmingham City, Johnson signed a three-year contract with Middlesbrough on deadline day, 31 August 2017, after serving one season of his three-year contract.[22] The undisclosed transfer deal was described by Oxford chairman Darryl Eales as "highly attractive", and believed to be in the region of £2.5 million.[23]

He moved on loan to Sheffield United in August 2018.[24]

Personal life

As of November 2016 Johnson had two children, a boy and a girl.[25]
