Club career

Edds started his career in 1999 with English team Nottingham Forest after going through the AIS system in Australia. At Forest he scored once against Grimsby Town[2] in 16 league appearances. He left for Swindon Town in the summer of 2002. However, he only played one season for Swindon before moving to Bradford City, where he again stayed for just one season. He moved to the newly named Milton Keynes Dons, where he played from 2004 to 2008, making more than 100 appearances. In his time at MK Dons he scored vital goals, including his last gasp goal at the end of the 2004–05 season, which kept the Dons in League One. In May 2008, following MK Dons' promotion to League One, he was one of six players to be released by the club.[3] Following his release, he was signed by League One side Tranmere Rovers in June 2008 on a two-year contract.[4]

On 11 May 2010 it was announced that Edds would not be offered a new contract and on 24 June 2010 it was announced that Edds had signed a deal with A League side North Queensland Fury[5]

Managerial career

On 12 November 2012 he accepted the role of head coach of Northern Fury.[6]

gollark: Python is unlikely to change core features around ever and there's tons of warning if they deprecate functions.
gollark: This would be faster and segfault less in Python.
gollark: Storage is basically a nonissue, small websites are small.
gollark: My entire website fits in about a megabyte (admittedly, there are basically no images) and the only time the CPU usage from nginx was at all noticeable was when people were spamming my game thing with several hundred thousand websocket frames a second.
