Marvin Clement Bartley (born 4 July 1986) is an English professional football coach and former player, who most recently was manager of Scottish League One club Queen of the South.

Early in his career, Bartley played for English non-league clubs Burnham, Hayes, Didcot Town and Hampton & Richmond Borough.

[4] Bartley remained a first team regular during the season making a total of 40 appearances, scoring three goals as they narrowly avoided relegation.

[7] Bartley made a total of two appearances for Didcot before signing for Isthmian League side Hampton & Richmond Borough on a free transfer in October 2006.

[9][10] Bartley was close to joining Football League Two side Milton Keynes Dons after spending a week on trial, until manager Martin Allen departed for Leicester City.

In the summer of 2007, Bartley joined Football League One side AFC Bournemouth on a two-week trial, playing in pre-season friendlies against Hamworthy United, Weymouth and Southampton.

[3] He made his début for the Cherries on 1 December 2007, in the FA Cup second round defeat away to Millwall, coming on as a late substitute for Jo Kuffour.

In December 2010, it was revealed that Bartley was subject of interest from AFC Wimbledon, Stevenage, AS Nancy, Havant & Waterlooville, Leeds United and Leicester City.

Despite initially regularly featuring, Bartley soon found himself deployed more from the bench than in a starting role, losing his place to the more established midfield three of Dean Marney, Chris McCann and Brian Stock.

[24] After falling out favour at Burnley, Bartley joined League One side Leyton Orient on an initial one-month loan deal on 1 August 2013.

[27] After eighteen months at Leyton Orient, Bartley joined Scottish Championship side Hibernian on 17 July 2015 on a two-year deal.

[34] In September 2020, Bartley was named as the new manager of Livingston's reserve team, assisted by fellow players Efe Ambrose and Gary Maley.

[42][43] In June 2020, Bartley appeared on a special podcast panel discussing his experiences of racism in football with A View from the Terrace host Craig Fowler.

[48] In April 2021, Bartley expressed fears that a footballer may one day commit suicide due to racist abuse sent over social media platforms.

In the same social media post, Bartley insinuated that Cowan also had a problem with his partner, Sky Sports presenter, Eilidh Barbour.

Cowan had been critical of Barbour after the presenter had voiced their disgust over sexist and racist comments made by a speaker at the Scottish Football Writers' Association awards in 2021.
