Carl Muggleton, born on 13 September 1968 in England, was a goalkeeper of notable height and strength, standing at 1.88m (6ft 2in) tall and weighing in at 84kg (13st 3lb). His professional career began in July 1986 when he joined Leicester City in the English Premier League. However, it was a gradual start: in his debut season, Muggleton made no first team appearances in league matches and this continued over the subsequent fours years. During his time at the club, his involvement was sporadic with the peak of his appearances during the 1992-1993 season where he participated in 17 league matches.
In July 1993, Muggleton moved northwards, joining Celtic in the Scottish Premiership. While his tenure with the club was brief, he managed to make a respectable 12 first team appearances in league matches.
A year after his move to Celtic, Muggleton returned to England, moving to Stoke City in the Championship where his involvement in matches tended to fluctuate. His most prolific time there was during the 1998-1999 season where he made 40 first team appearances, Muggleton spent the rest of his career with various stints at Chesterfield, Mansfield Town, Cardiff City and Cheltenham Town, with his match appearances varying substantially during each tenure.
His career culminated with a return to Mansfield Town during the 2006 - 2008 period, rounding off his professional journey on a high note with a consistent number of match appearances.
A journeyman professional, Muggleton provided steady hands behind the sticks for a range of clubs throughout his career, proving his enduring value consistently across the length of his impressive career.
