Marcus Joseph Tavernier (born 22 March 1999) is an English professional footballer who plays as a left winger for Championship club Middlesbrough.

Club career

Having previously played for Newcastle United, Tavernier joined the academy of Middlesbrough at under-14 level and became a regular for his side in the Premier League 2. He also played in two games for his club in the 2015–16 UEFA Youth League.[6]

Tavernier made his professional debut for the club in the second round of the EFL Cup, starting in a 3–0 win against Scunthorpe United at the Riverside Stadium on 22 August 2017.[7] He scored his first goal for the club on 24 October in the EFL Cup, during a 3–1 loss to Bournemouth at Dean Court,[8] and his first league goal in the Championship in a 1–0 win over rivals Sunderland at the Riverside Stadium on 5 November.[9]
