Marc Tierney (born August 23, 1985) is an English-born Irish footballer, who currently plays for Shrewsbury Town. He attended, Saint Monica's R.C High School, Prestwich, Bury from 1996-2001.[citation needed] His brother Paul is also a professional footballer.

Predominantly a left back, Tierney can play in other left-sided positions, such as centre-back.[1] He rose through the youth ranks at Oldham Athletic, making his professional debut for Oldham in a Carling Cup match in August of the 2003-04 season, against Scunthorpe United. In December 2004 he went to Carlisle United on loan for a three month spell under Brian Talbot.

In January 2007, Tierney was signed by Shrewsbury Town in a two and a half year deal. He was a regular in the Shrewsbury side during the closing months of the 2006-07 season, as Town reached the League Two playoff final at Wembley. Notably, Tierney was sent off in the dying minutes of that game, making him only the second player to suffer this fate at the new stadium, and meaning he would miss the first game of the 2007-08 season.

In spite of Shrewsbury's disappointing 2007-08 season, Tierney enjoyed excellent personal form. His consistently dependable performances earned him both the fans' and players' player of the year awards.[2]
