Wigan Warriors Career
He made his Wigan début against Catalans Dragons but it took him 3 months to get his first try for Wigan which came against Castleford Tigers in May 2006. Wigan spent most of 2006 struggling against relegation from the Super League but despite this he managed to form a good playing connection with Wigan full back Chris Ashton. Mark did miss several months of the 2006 season with an injury and finished the season with 6 tries.
Mark scored a hat trick of tries in Wigan's epic 31-30 playoff win over Bradford on 21 September 2007 as the Warriors fought back from a 30-6 deficit but was forced off the field in the following game against Hull with a broken bone in the bottom of his leg which forced him to miss Wigan's final game of the 2007 season against Leeds Rhinos. The next season turned out to be his final one for the club. His form was mixed throughout the campaign and was signalled out for poor performances especially in the 46-10 defeat to local rivals St Helens. Throughout his Wigan career he was criticised for not producing the form that gave him his name at Leeds, many fans thought that he had pace but was not giving everything into every match which began to have negative effect on his future at the club. Mark has signed for Hull for the 2009 season

“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
