James Marwood (born 21 May 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward.

Club career

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

On 26 June 2014, Marwood signed a one-year contract with St Mirren, with the option of a further year.[1] Marwood made his competitive debut for the club against Motherwell on 9 August 2014, in the Scottish Premiership.[3] On 20 January 2015, Marwood left St Mirren, with his contract being cancelled by mutual consent.[4]

Forest Green Rovers

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

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 an ankle injury, Marwood was released at the end of the 2015–16 season.[10]

International career

Marwood earned a call up to the England C team in May 2014, alongside Gateshead team mate Marcus Maddison.[11] He made his unofficial debut in a 2–2 draw with Sparta Prague B on 21 May 2014,[12] before making his official debut 3 days later as a late substitute in a 0–1 defeat to Slovakia U23.[13] He made his first international start on 28 May 2014 in a 2–4 defeat against Hungary U23.[14]
