Career
Sheffield Wednesday and early loans
Born in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, Beresford started his career in the Sheffield Wednesday youth system. He signed a professional contract in September 1987.[1] While at the Yorkshire club, he was sent out on loan to Bury, Northampton Town twice and Crewe Alexandra.
Burnley
After failing to break into the Sheffield Wednesday first team, Beresford was sold for a fee of £95,000 to Burnley. While at Burnley he made almost 250 appearances and impressed so much that he was then tracked and bought by Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough and further loans
Beresford was only signed to provide goalkeeping backup and was loaned to Sheffield Wednesday, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley for a second spell.
Later career
When his contract with Middlesbrough ended, Beresford joined York City on a short-term contract in August 2002,[2] before joining Burnley for the third time, on a month's contract in September.[3] Despite doubts over his proficiency, he played a whole season at Burnley. He then signed for Bradford City on a free transfer in September 2003,[4] after which he moved to Luton Town.
Luton Town, Barnsley and Oldham Athletic
Beresford impressed for Luton, becoming a fan favourite, but an FA-imposed transfer embargo prevented the Hatters from signing him permanently. When his loan ended he moved to Barnsley but, after Luton came out of administration and had the embargo lifted, he was re-signed for Luton by Mike Newell in 2004.
Beresford played a key role in Luton's League One winning side in 2004–05 - the first time in his career he had picked up a championship winners medal. Due to his experience, he continued making appearances throughout the 2005–06 season and contributed significantly to Luton's respectable finish of 10th place. Beresford also played in the 2006–07 season which saw Luton relegated from the Championship.
Beresford spent a month on loan at Oldham Athletic between 18 October and 18 November 2007. He was released by Luton at the end of the 2007–08 season.[5]
Semi-professional career
On 5 September 2010 Beresford played for Middlesbrough Supporters South Football Club against Plymouth Argyle Supporters London Branch in a pre-season friendly at King Georges Sports Ground, Wandsworth. He kept a clean sheet and was praised for his communication and distribution.
Beresford continued to play for Middlesbrough Supporters South throughout the 2010–11 season, which culminated in the club winning the David Baister Cup, their first trophy in their history, after a 2-0 victory over Brighton thanks to two goals from striker Johnathon Gallagher.[6]
Post-playing career
Marlon is currently a goalkeeping coach at Barnet [7]
