Marcus Lewis Holness (born 8 December 1988 in Swinton, Greater Manchester) is an English professional footballer who is currently under contract for Tranmere Rovers. He is a defender.
Career
Holness began his career with Oldham Athletic, but did not play any competitive matches for them. He was signed on loan in October 2007 for Rochdale, playing nine times for the Dale. Marcus impressed with his performances, and manager Keith Hill made him Rochdale's first signing of the January 2008 transfer window, joining on a free transfer.
Holness was loaned to Conference National side Template:Fb team Barrow for a month in January 2009, having only made six league appearances with Rochdale in the 2008–09 season prior to this. The deal was later extended.[2]
Holness spent his most successful period in Rochdale at 10/11 season, as the club debutated in the League One finishing at ninth position while Holness never missed a game during the season. On 25 April he scored his first senior goal as Rochdale was defeated by Template:Fb team Charlton Athletic.[3]
Holness fell out of favour after Rochdale manager Steve Eyre was replaced by John Coleman. Despite Rochdale relegated back to the League Two this season, Coleman kept his place and Holness was released by the club after five seasons in the team having made over 100 appearances for the club.[4]
Holness joined League Two side Template:Fb team Burton Albion signing a two-year deal after a short trial.[5] He spent two full seasons at Burton-upon-Trent as the club twice finished in the play-off zone but lost both attempts. Holness was offered new deal at the end of the 2013–14 season but never signed it.[6]
On 27 June 2014 Holness left Burton Albion to join fellow League Two club Template:Fb team Tranmere Rovers signing two-year contract.[7]
Holness suffered a hamsting injury in the starting game of the 2014–15 season that ruled him out of the League Cup tie against Template:Fb team Nottingham Forest. He quickly recovered to back in the starting squad on 19 August. Holness established himself as a regular starter but on 10 January his season was ended as he suffered serious knee ligament damage.[8] Holness fully recovered to make his first start since January on 29 August at Template:Fb team Altrincham as Rovers relegated to the National League.[9] He made only two more caps before picking up another injury in mid-September.[10]
