Jack Marriott

Jack David Marriott was born on September 9, 1994, in Beverley, England. He began his football career in the youth system at Ipswich Town at age 15, signing a two-year scholarship in April 2011. Known for his aggressive and goal-scoring nature, he earned a one-year professional contract in February 2013 and made his professional debut for Ipswich Town in May 2013. Marriott gained early experience through several loan spells, including Woking in the Conference Premier where he scored nine goals in nine matches in late 2013, and a short stint at Gillingham. He returned to Woking for two more loan periods between 2014 and 2015, interspersed with a loan at Carlisle United and Colchester United.

In May 2015, Marriott joined Luton Town on a one-year contract. He quickly made an impact, scoring his first goals for the club in an EFL Cup match against Bristol City. His consistent performances earned him the Luton Town Player of the Season award for the 2015–16 season, finishing as the club’s top scorer with 16 goals. He then moved to Peterborough United in 2017, where he had a highly successful 2017–18 season, scoring 33 goals in 56 appearances across all competitions. This outstanding performance led to him being named the EFL League One Player of the Month for August 2017, and he also received the Fans Player of the Year, Players’ Player of the Year, and Away Travel Player of the Year awards at Peterborough. He was also included in the PFA Team of the Year and was the League One top scorer.

Marriott joined Championship club Derby County in July 2018, contributing significant goals including a key brace against Leeds to send Derby to the 2019 Championship Playoff Final. He had a loan spell at Sheffield Wednesday in 2020. After returning to Peterborough United in 2021, he moved to Fleetwood Town in January 2023. In February 2024, Marriott signed with Wrexham and played a role in their promotion from League Two, followed by another promotion from League One in 2024-25, before signing a three-year deal with Reading FC in August 2025. He has since continued his goal-scoring form, securing five goals in his first six league starts for Reading and being nominated for the EFL League One Player of the Month award for October 2025.
