Mark Stallard (born 24 October 1974 in Derby) is an English footballer who currently plays for English League Two club Lincoln City. He is a striker.

[edit] Career

Stallard began his career at his hometown club Derby County, turning professional in 1991. He made 19 league starts for the club, and spent short periods on loan at Fulham and Bradford City before making his spell at Bradford permanent in January 1996, signing for £110,000.

A loan spell at Preston North End was immediately followed by a £100,000 transfer to Wycombe Wanderers. Two years, 73 matches and 23 goals later, he joined Notts County, where spent the majority of his career in first-team football. County paid £10,000 for his services. He would go on to become a cult figure at Meadow Lane.

Five years later Stallard joined Barnsley on a free transfer. His spell at Barnsley was not a successful time for Stallard, who saw more league action in his spells on loan (to Chesterfield and back at Notts County) than at Barnsley.

Stallard joined Shrewsbury Town in July 2005 on a free transfer, but only scored seven times for the Shrews, before moving to Lincoln City in July 2006. He enjoyed a successful first season with the Imps, scoring 17 goals in all competitions.

He has one hat-trick to his name, coming during his spell at Wycombe, in the 4-3 win over Walsall on 21 October 1997.

Stallard was released by Lincoln City at the end of the 2007–08 season.[citation needed]
