Marcus Dackers, born on 9 January 2003 in Wales, is a Wales national football player. Currently aged 23, Marcus is a forward who primarily plays as a striker for Kilmarnock in Scotland. Standing tall at 6ft 7in (2.01m), and weighing roughly 14 stone 9lbs (93kg), Marcus is an imposing figure on the pitch. He wears the number 9 jersey, a traditional centre-forward number.
According to the football data site, Transfermarkt, his current market value is around £128k. For a striker of his stature operating in Scottish football, that's far from unreasonable, as the Scottish Premiership isn't known for its exorbitant player values.
In July 2021, Dackers transferred from Brighton & Hove Albion, a Premier League outfit, to Salford City in League Two. Under the looming Salford Quays, Dackers made five first team league appearances, before being loaned to Chester, a club in England's National League North in January 2022. Dackers returned to Salford later that year, only to continue popping around England on various loan deals for the next few years.
During the 2022/23 season, he had spells at Southend United, Woking, and Altrincham, pulling on their shirts six, eleven, and zero times respectively. He made a return to Southend for another loan during the same period in 2024 but his most substantial loan spell came in the 2025/26 season with Morecambe based in England's National League.
Finally, in July 2025, Dackers opted for the lure of Scottish football and transferred from Salford City in England's League Two to Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership. For the current 2025/2026 season, he has already made 24 first team appearances for Kilmarnock and chipped in with two goals in league matches. The impressive 6'7" forward has also made an impact in the cup competitions, netting twice in the League Cup, and making one appearance in the Scottish Cup.
All in all, Dackers has had quite a journeyman career so far across England, although it would appear he's finally found some stability at Kilmarnock in the north. Only time will tell if this is the place where he'll fully realise his potential and rise to a level that his physical attributes always suggested he might.
