Marc Richards (born 8 July 1982 in Wolverhampton) is an English professional footballer who plays as striker. He currently plays for Football League One side Port Vale.
Marc started his professional career at Blackburn Rovers, but was on the books of Vauxhall Conference side Hednesford Town before moving to Ewood Park. He made his Rovers debut in a Worthington Cup tie against West Ham United in October 2000.
He had loan spells with Crewe Alexandra , Oldham Athletic , Halifax Town and Swansea City before signing on a free transfer to Northampton Town in 2003.
In 2005 he had a loan spell with Rochdale before signing for Barnsley in 2005. He was described as "a young Neil Shipperley" by the then Barnsley manager Andy Ritchie, as a reason for not re-signing Shipperley from Sheffield United. He was released by Barnsley in May 2007, subsequently joining Port Vale on a two year deal.
He has been capped at England Under-18 and under-20 level.
