Marcel McKie

Marcel McKie (born September 22, 1984 in Edmonton, Middlesex, England) is a footballer currently playing for St. Albans City, who began his career at Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur F.C.when he was 10 years old. Marcel came through the youth academy and was given his first professional contract at Tottenham at the age of 17 in September 2001.

A Strong-running defender who really made the left-back slot his own in the Tottenham Hotspur reserve side where he started 45 games. That won him another senior contract at the club prompting praise from coach Clive Allen.

Marcel represented England at U16, U17, U18, U19 and U20 international level.

McKie was released from the club, at the end of the 2006 season so he could develop his career at a new club. He was approached by Wycombe Wanderers and Crewe Alexandra where he spent 3 weeks training before failing to agree personal terms.

Marcel joined Nationwide Conference South Division side Lewes to play regular football to keep himself in shape while he looked for a higher placed club.

McKie is a very calm defender who Tottenham Hotspur reserve team manager Clive Allen described as "just what you need in a left back".

Joined St. Albans City after leaving Lewes F.C. in the summer of 2007.
