Philip Warner (born 2 February 1979) is an English retired semi-professional footballer, who played as a utility player in the Premier League for Southampton and in the Football League for Cambridge United and Brentford. After his release from Cambridge United in 2003, he dropped into non-League football and had a brief spell playing in Australia.

Career[edit]

Southampton[edit]

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, but failed to appear after October 1998.[5] 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.[7][8] Warner returned to the Southampton first team squad during the 2000–01 season, but failed to make any further appearances before his release in May 2001.[9]

Cambridge United[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

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]
