Marcos David Painter (born 17 August 1986) is a footballer who is currently contracted to Brighton & Hove Albion.

Career

Born in Birmingham, Painter was brought up in the Chelmsley Wood area of Solihull[3] where he attended the Archbishop Grimshaw secondary school.[4]

He is a product of the Academy at Birmingham City and has been capped for the Republic of Ireland at Under 19, 20 and Under 21 level.[5] Painter can operate as a centre-half or left back but did play left midfield in his younger days.

The tough-tackling defender was handed a new one-year professional contract at the start of the 2005–06 season and was involved with the first team during the club's pre-season tour of Norway. During a game against SK Brann, his tackle on Slovenian international, Fabijan Cipot, broke both bones of the player's lower leg. The tackle was described by Brann's manager as "a really bad tackle, a possible career-ender", though Birmingham manager Steve Bruce insisted it had not been deliberate. Painter received a yellow card and was immediately substituted.[6] He made his competitive debut against Scunthorpe United in the League Cup in September 2005.

At the beginning of the 2006–07 season, Painter played in two league and cup games to increase his total appearances to seven games. In November 2006 he joined Swansea City on a month's loan to cover for the injured Tom Williams. In January, after playing eight league games, the Swans extended his loan for a third month with a view to making the move permanent.

After Bruce admitted that Painter would have trouble getting back into the first team,[7] the player moved permanently to Swansea on 31 January 2007 for an initial fee of £25,000 with a further £25,000 to be paid a year later. Swansea City would also pay an additional sum if promoted.[8] He established himself as Swansea's first choice left back, but after an off the ball incident Painter sustained cruciate ligament damage in his right knee following the 3–0 win over Southampton on 25 October 2008.[9] He did not feature for Swansea for the rest of the season through injury. He joined Brighton & Hove Albion on loan until the end of the 2009–10 season in January 2010.

In May 2010, Painter agreed a two-year contract with Brighton, to begin on 1 July.[10] He scored his first career goal after 81 minutes of the League One match against Walsall on 28 August, which proved to be the winner.[11]
