Marvin Anthony Michael McCoy (born 2 October 1988) is a semi-professional footballer who plays as a defender for National League South club Ebbsfleet United. He is an Antigua and Barbuda international.
Born in Walthamstow, London, McCoy was part of the youth teams of Leyton, Arsenal and Watford before becoming a trainee with the latter. He was released by Watford in the summer of 2007 having not been given a professional contract, and joined League Two club Hereford United on 31 August on a one-month contract. In December 2007, he made his debut for Isthmian League Premier Division club Harrow Borough in a 1–0 defeat to Staines Town in the Middlesex Senior Cup, which proved to be his only appearance for the club. He returned to Isthmian League Premier Division Leyton in January 2008, before signing for Wealdstone, of the same division, on 6 August 2008.
McCoy played impressively for Wealdstone in the 2008–09 season, in which he made 34 appearances, and was rewarded with a new contract in June 2009. He was named the club's Player of the Year, being awarded the Jock Law trophy, after being chosen by the club's supporters for his performances in 2009–10. He was also named the Players' Player of the Year, for a season in which he made 50 appearances and scored one goal. During this time he also worked in CCTV management in the Kings Cross area of London.
