Career

Southampton

A Utility player, Warner began his career in the youth system at Premier League club Southampton and signed his first professional contract in August 1997.[3] He made his senior debut as a 39th-minute substitute for Jason Dodd in a 1–1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on 10 May 1998.[4] Warner made six appearances during the 1998–99 season,[5] but failed to appear after October 1998 and departed on loan for the 1999–00 season.[6] Warner returned to the first team squad during the 2000–01 season, but failed to make any further appearances before his release in May 2001.[7]

Brentford (loan)

On 2 July 1999, Warner joined newly-promoted Second Division club Brentford on a season-long loan, with a view to a permanent move.[6] He made just 15 appearances and returned to The Dell two months early, in March 2000.[8][9]

Cambridge United

On 31 May 2001, Warner signed a two-year contract with Second Division club Cambridge United on a free transfer.[10] He made just 16 appearances during the 2001–02 season,[11] at the end of which the Us were relegated to the Third Division.[12] Warner was mostly out of favour with manager John Taylor during the first half of the 2002–03 season and was released on 10 January 2003, in a cost-cutting exercise.[13][14] He made 26 appearances during 18 months at the Abbey Stadium.[10]

Non-league football

On 24 January 2003, Warner dropped into non-league football to join Wessex League club Eastleigh.[2][15] Over the following six years he also would play for Aldershot Town, Eastbourne Borough, Havant & Waterlooville, Bognor Regis Town and Totton, before travelling to Australia and playing for Heidelberg United.[16][17][18][19][20] Warner joined his final club, Poole Town, in 2010 and retired in 2011.[21]

Personal life

Warner attended Redbridge Community School.[22] As of January 2008, he was living in Bassett and was working as a van driver and property developer.[22] After his retirement from football in 2011, he became a sports masseur.[23][24]

gollark: You apparently care enough to say "HAHAHA I DO NOT CARE ABOUT PRIVACY" on Discord for several decaminutes, but *not* to spend five installing firefox?
gollark: But they could, I don't know, pass it onto employees/other companies, and they could... blackmail you, pass it onto repressive governments, who knows.
gollark: Well, that's unlikely.
gollark: I mean, I expect to live for a while, maybe we'll have some way to work around stupid stuff like "aging" before I would otherwise die.
