Mark Christopher Albrighton (born 6 March 1976) is an English footballer who plays as a central defender for Bedworth United.
Born in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, Albrighton started his career at Atherstone United, then of the Southern League Premier Division, before joining Telford United in September 1999 for a fee of £10,000. He made his debut for the Shropshire side shortly after in a 3–1 victory over Yeovil Town, making a further 16 appearances during the 1999–00, scoring once in the process. He played 27 times throughout the club's 2000–01 campaign, scoring twice. Albrighton continued his run in the first-team the following season, scoring 5 times from defence, and appearing 30 times. Before the start of the 2002–03 season, Albrighton joined Doncaster Rovers on a free transfer. He made his debut for the club in a 5–1 victory against Dagenham & Redbridge, and scored his first goal in November 2002, in a 2–0 win over Hereford United. He made a total of 29 appearances during the season, and helped guide the club to promotion via the Conference National play-offs. Albrighton adjusted well to league football, playing 30 games for the Yorkshire side and ensuring back-to-back promotions as the club reached the third tier of English football.
