Mark Samuel Ebanks (born 26 December 1990) is a Caymanian footballer who plays as a forward for Academy SC and the Cayman Islands national team.

Club career

Ebanks was one of a group of Caymanian players identified by the country's football federation who they believed would benefit from playing overseas. He joined Ashford Town (Middlesex) in England after being invited over in late 2010 on an initial short term basis, although the move was extended then until the end of the season.[6] He made one first-team appearance for the club, with his spell at the team affected by injuries.[7]

International career

Ebanks represented the Cayman Islands during World Cup qualifying matches in 2011.
