Dean Marney (born 31 January 1984 in Barking) is an English footballer who currently plays for Hull City.
Marney is an attacking midfielder and a product of the Tottenham Hotspur youth system. Unable to get his start as a young player in the Tottenham team, he was loaned out early on in his career to Swindon Town, having been the top scorer in the Tottenham Under-19 squad, which had earned him promotion to the reserve team.
His initial first team action for Spurs came in August 2003, against Birmingham City. By January 2004 he had joined QPR on loan, as by that time Spurs had strengthened their strike force. Upon his return he was handed his debut start, but that would be his only appearance until November 2004, when he joined Gillingham on loan.
When he returned to Tottenham, he was immediately thrown in at the deep end, as a last minute choice to face an Everton team on 1 January, in which he scored the first and last goals of the match in a 5-2 victory.
He struggled with form until February 2005, the month in which he participated in his first international, an England under-21 match versus Holland. He has not appeared for England since then.
After considerable squad strengthening in the early part of the 2005-06 season, which included the signings of Edgar Davids and Jermaine Jenas, he found himself out of action, and moved for a season-long loan to Norwich City in the hope of winning them promotion back to the Premiership. However his time at Norwich City was cut short due to injury and he returned to Tottenham Hotspur on 31 October 2005.
New manager Phil Parkinson made Marney his second signing for Hull City on the 14 July 2006, for an undisclosed fee.
