Marvin Olawale Akinlabi Park (born 3 July 2000), simply known as Marvin, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Real Madrid Castilla.

Club career

Born in Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Marvin spent his early career with Sporting Ciutat de Palma (two stints), English club Tranmere Rovers, where he spent three years,[1] and back in Spain with SD La Salle and AD Penya Arrabal before joining Real Madrid's La Fábrica in 2016.[2] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 25 August 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute for Miguel Baeza in a 1–1 Segunda División B away draw against Las Rozas CF.[3]

Marvin scored his first senior goal on 26 October 2019, netting the opener in a 1–2 home loss against Racing de Ferrol.[4] He ended his first senior campaign with three goals in 26 appearances, as the season was curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic, while also helping the under-20s win the UEFA Youth League.[5]

Marvin made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 20 September 2020, replacing Rodrygo in a 0–0 away draw against Real Sociedad.[6]

International career

Marvin was born in Spain to a Nigerian father and a South Korean mother.[7] He represented the Spain U19s once in a friendly 3–0 loss against Italy U19s on 16 January 2019.[8]
