Mark Richard Tyler (born 2 April 1977) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper and is the goalkeeping coach at League One club Peterborough United. He played for the England national under-17 team and the England national under-20 team.
Born in Norwich, Norfolk, Tyler started his career as a trainee at hometown club Norwich City during the 1988–89 season. He then had trials for the Ipswich Town and Cambridge United youth teams during the 1992–93 season, before signing for the Peterborough United youth team, from which he progressed before the start of the 1994–95 season.
His first senior game for Peterborough came on 18 September 1994 in a 4–0 defeat away to Birmingham City. The game marked the beginning of three consecutive first-team appearances for Tyler, as he featured in a 2–2 draw with Rotherham United on 24 September 1994, followed by another defeat to Birmingham City which finished 5–3 in the Football League Trophy first round on 27 September 1994. Tyler was recalled to the first-team for the second-round game on 29 November 1994, a 2–0 away defeat to Hereford United. He featured twice in league games during January 1995, replacing loanee Fred Barber as a 17th-minute substitute in a 0–0 draw with Bradford City on 14 January 1995, before making a starting appearance in a 1–1 draw away at Chester City on 28 January 1995. Tyler failed to make a further appearance until 22 April 1995 in a 1–0 win over Blackpool, his final game of the season. All in all, he made seven appearances in all competitions during the 1994–95 season at the age of 17.
