Marcos David Painter (born 17 August 1986) is a football coach and former professional player who played predominantly as a left back.

[5] Painter was born in Birmingham and brought up in the Chelmsley Wood area of Solihull,[6] where he attended the Archbishop Grimshaw secondary school.

During a game against SK Brann, his tackle on Slovenian international, Fabijan Cipot, broke both bones of the player's lower leg.

[11] The loan was extended to three months, and, after Birmingham manager Steve Bruce admitted that he could not guarantee Painter regular first-team football,[12] the player moved permanently to Swansea on 31 January 2007, for an initial fee of £25,000 with a further £25,000 to be paid a year later.

[13] He established himself as Swansea's first-choice left back, playing 31 league games as the club were promoted to the Championship,[14] and was a regular selection at the higher level until, in October 2008, he sustained cruciate ligament damage in his right knee during a 3–0 win over Southampton.
