Marcus Albin John Rafferty (born 1 October 2004) is a Swedish footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Allsvenskan club Degerfors IF.[1]

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Both his parents were active footballers. His Swedish mother Karolina Divert represented Hammarby IF's women's team in Damallsvenskan between 1988 and 1992, while his British father Nick Rafferty went on trial with Hammarby's men's team in 1994 but ultimately went on to play for Nacka FF in Sweden.[2][3]

Rafferty was raised in Salem, south of Stockholm, and started to play youth football with local club Tullinge TP. In 2019, at age 15, he made two appearances for their senior team in Division 3, the domestic fifth tier.[4]

In 2020, Rafferty joined the youth academy of Hammarby IF. In 2021, he suffered a broken foot and damaged foot ligaments, injuries that kept him sidelined for 20 months.[5]

Club career

[edit | edit source]

On 3 July 2023, Rafferty made his debut for Hammarby in Allsvenskan, coming on as a substitute in a 0–2 away loss to IF Elfsborg.[6][7] A couple of weeks later, on 15 July, he signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract with the club, running until the end of 2027.[8]

On 17 December 2024, newly promoted Allsvenskan club Degerfors IF announced Rafferty as their new signing ahead of the 2025 season.[9]

International career

[edit | edit source]

In 2019 and 2021, Rafferty was called up to the Swedish under-17s for two different training camps.[10][11]
