Martyn Thomas Waghorn (born 23 January 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Scottish Premiership club Rangers. He is a former England under-21 international.
Waghorn had been with Sunderland since the age of eight and made his first team debut for the club in December 2007, against Manchester United, at the age of 17. He had loan spells with Charlton Athletic and Leicester City before joining Leicester City on a permanent deal on 31 August 2010.
He played sparingly for Leicester City, spending time out on loan at Hull City, Millwall and Wigan Athletic before signing permanently for the latter in April 2014. In July 2015, he left England for the first time in his career, joining Rangers.
Waghorn was born in South Shields. From the age of eight Waghorn played for his local team Sunderland and he progressed through the youth system at the Academy of Light to reach the under-18 team. Waghorn scored the first hat-trick of his career on 12 December 2007 in a 6–1 win against Norwich City in the FA Youth Cup third round. He scored twice in a 4–2 win against local rivals Newcastle United a few days later at the Academy of Light, both of the goals being penalties.
