Mark John Bunn (born 16 November 1984) is an English professional footballer who plays for Aston Villa as a goalkeeper.
Born in London, Bunn began his career with the Tottenham Hotspur youth team, before signing for Northampton Town. He made his league debut for Northampton and went on to make 90 appearances for the club, before a succession of permanent and loan spells with various clubs before being signed by Norwich from Blackburn Rovers as cover for John Ruddy, in time for the 2012–13 season. When Ruddy sustained a leg injury, Bunn took his place in the first team for much of the season.
Born in London Borough of Camden, Bunn started his career with Tottenham Hotspur as a trainee but joined Northampton Town before he was offered a professional contract.
He made his first team debut in a 3–0 victory over Queens Park Rangers in the first round of the League Cup in August 2005. He was given his league debut by then-manager John Gorman against Nottingham Forest in August 2006. Bunn made his 100th appearance for Northampton Town in a 2–0 victory over Oldham Athletic on 19 April 2008. His impressive performances ousted long term first choice keeper Lee Harper, who subsequently left Sixfields for Milton Keynes Dons.
Bunn has, to date, saved six penalties in his career, against Rotherham United, Tranmere Rovers, Peterborough United, Reading, Spurs and QPR. On 27 April 2007, he won the Northampton Town player of the season award finishing ahead of Jason Crowe and Chris Doig.
