Marvin Ekpiteta

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

Marvin Ekpiteta, born 26 August 1995 (age 31), is an English central defender with MK Dons. An imposing 6ft 4in (1.93m), he wears squad number 21 and plays in the sort of position where that frame is not exactly a disadvantage.

His career has been shaped most clearly by Blackpool. Across two league seasons there, he made 65 league appearances and scored six goals, with 2021-22 standing out as his most productive campaign: 40 league appearances and five goals from centre-half.

Ekpiteta is now with MK Dons, where in 2026-27 he has made two League One appearances and one League Cup appearance. His career to this point is that of an established English lower-league defender, with the Blackpool spell carrying the main weight.
