Marvin Bartley

Marvin Clement Bartley (born 4 July 1986) is an English professional football coach and former player who is currently the manager of Scottish Championship club Stenhousemuir. Early in his career, Bartley played for English non-league clubs Burnham, Hayes, Didcot Town and Hampton & Richmond Borough. He broke into the professional leagues in 2007 with AFC Bournemouth, where he made over 100 Football League appearances. Soon after Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe moved to Burnley in 2011, Bartley followed Howe to Turf Moor. Bartley fell out of favour at Burnley after Howe returned to Bournemouth in October 2012. He initially moved on loan to Leyton Orient, then joined Orient on a permanent basis after he was released by Burnley in January 2014. Bartley left Orient in the summer of 2015 and signed for Scottish club Hibernian. He helped Hibernian win the Scottish Cup in 2016 and promotion in 2017. After his contract with Hibernian expired in May 2019, Bartley signed for Livingston. He started coaching with Livingston, became assistant manager in 2021, and retired from playing in 2022. Bartley was appointed manager of Queen of the South in January 2023; he left the Dumfries club at the end of the 2023–24 season. In June 2025 he returned to Livingston as first-team coach, and was promoted to the role of first-team manager in February 2026. He resigned in May 2026 and was then appointed manager of Stenhousemuir.
