Marvin Emnes (born 27 May 1988) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays for Blackburn Rovers, on loan from Swansea City, as a striker or winger.
Born in Rotterdam, Emnes was a sprinter as a youth. Emnes played football for amateur side Xerxes before he joined the Sparta youth academy in 1997.
Emnes made his debut for Sparta Rotterdam in the 2005–06 season. In the 2007–08 season, Emnes scored eight goals and was declared Sparta Fans' Player of the Year.
On 4 July 2008, Emnes signed a four-year contract with then-Premier League team Middlesbrough for a transfer fee of €4 million (£3.2 million). His début came in the League Cup against Yeovil Town on 27 August, getting on the score sheet in the process.
On 24 January 2009 he scored the winning goal for Middlesbrough in the 83rd minute against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup, with the score finishing 2–1. He made his first Premier League start on 11 May as part of a 3–1 away defeat to Newcastle United. His next start with Middlesbrough was against Aston Villa, in which he produced a man of the match performance. He was also given the "Player of the Weekend" award after two successful starts.
He scored his first league goal for Middlesbrough in a game against Swansea City on 15 August 2009.
Emnes went on trial with German club Fortuna Düsseldorf at the end of the 2009–10 season. Emnes did not sign for Düsseldorf, but he instead mainly sat on the bench throughout Gordon Strachan's reign in charge.
