Born in Wales on 9 January 2003, Marcus Dackers, a purposeful forward wielding the number 9 jersey, presently serves Kilmarnock as their main striker. Remarkably tall for a footballer at 2.01m (6ft 7in), Dackers tips the scales at 93kg (14st 9lb), presenting an imposing figure on the pitch.
His prowess on the field is recognised in his current market value of around €150k (£128k), according to Transfermarkt.
Dackers journey in football has been diverse; a progression from Brighton & Hove Albion in the English Premier League to teams across the lower leagues of England, with temporary transfers to the likes of Chester, Southend United, Altrincham and Morecambe before his eventual settlement in Scotland with Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership.
Dackers career turned a corner in July 2021, when he took the bold leap from Brighton & Hove Albion to Salford City. Dackers made five appearances for Salford in the 2022 - 2023 season. Twice more would he don his Salford jersey in between loan spells; once after his return from Chester in June 2022 and again after a successful half-season loan spell at Southend where he bagged three league goals in six appearances during the 2022 - 2023 season.
As Dackers career progressed, so too did his success in finding the net. An 11 match run at Woking in the National League yielded two important goals before he returned to Salford. A brief loan spell at Altrincham was followed by another stint at Southend United where he continued to prove pivotal up front, netting another three goals in six league games. A final loan move to Morecambe in August 2024 allowed for growth and experience before he made a pivotal career leap.
In July 2025, Dackers moved north and transferred to Kilmarnock in Scotland. His impact there has been immediate and influential. In the ongoing 2025 - 2026 season, he has made seven starts in league matches, scored one goal and solidified his place as a vital asset in the team. He has also demonstrated his goal prowess in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Kilmarnock, finding the back of the net twice in four starts, demonstrating his undeniable strike capabilities.
