Mark Oxley

Mark Thomas Oxley (born 28 September 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Harrogate Town FC.

Oxley began his professional career with Rotherham United in 2007 but moved to Hull City a year later. Whilst with Hull, Oxley has spent spells on loan with Walsall, Grimsby Town, Burton Albion, Oldham Athletic and Hibernian. After being released by Hull City in 2015, he signed on a permanent basis for Hibernian. Oxley was capped by both the England under-18 and England under-20 sides.

Rotherham United Oxley joined Rotherham United as a youngster and was promoted to the club's first team during the 2007–08 season.

Hull City After being scouted by several bigger clubs, he joined newly promoted Premier League club Hull City in August 2008 for a fee of £150,000. Oxley became the club's fifth choice goalkeeper, behind Boaz Myhill, Matt Duke, Tony Warner and Tom Woodhead. For the 2009–10 season, Oxley moved up to number four keeper at the KC Stadium, but was to be sent out on loan to Walsall in October 2009. He would only manage to make the bench for The Saddlers, and he departed a month later after failing to make a single appearance. On 25 February 2010, Oxley signed a one-month loan deal with Grimsby Town, becoming the third Hull player to be loaned out to Grimsby that season, following teammates Nicky Featherstone and Jamie Devitt. Oxley would go straight into the starting line up to face Dagenham & Redbridge on 27 February, after replacing regular number one Nick Colgan, who was rested by manager Neil Woods. The game ended in a 2–0 defeat for Grimsby, and when the club's next match against Shrewsbury Town came around, Oxley was dropped to the bench in favour of Colgan.

On Friday 2 April 2010, Oxley rejoined Grimsby for a second loan spell, this time an emergency seven-day loan, following injuries to Nick Colgan and reserve Leigh Overton which left the club without a fit goalkeeper for their clash with Northampton Town. Oxley played in the 2–1 home defeat against Northampton, as well as the Easter Monday 3–2 victory over Accrington Stanley. Both Hull and Grimsby had suffered relegations by the end of the 2009–10 season. Following the sale of Boaz Myhill in the summer of 2010, Oxley was a regular on the bench for Hull in the 2010–11 season.
