Marvin Ekpiteta

Marvin Ekpiteta of MK Dons was born in Enfield, England on 26 August 1995 (age 31).

Marvin Ekpiteta, born on 26 August 1995 (age 31), is an English central defender with MK Dons. At 6ft 4in (1.93m), he is an imposing figure in the middle of the back line, which is broadly where his game has been built.
