Biography
[edit | edit source]Wardley played for non-league Saffron Walden Town, Bishops Stortford and Saffron Walden again,[1] while working as removals, before joining Queens Park Rangers in July 1999 for a fee of £15,000.[2] His debut came on 7 August 1999 when he was a late substitute, for Jermaine Darlington in Rangers' 3–1 win at home to Huddersfield Town.[3]
In January 2002, Wardley joined Rushden & Diamonds on loan, signing on a free transfer in April 2002.[4] He missed most of the 2003–04 season due to a serious knee injury.[5] He played pre-season for Bishop Stortford[6] and in August 2004 joined Torquay United on a one-month contract.[7] He signed a three-month contract extension in September 2004,[8] but left in October 2004 to join Leyton Orient.[9] He moved to Cambridge United on non-contract terms in January 2005,[10] playing just three times before being released after a month. He had a trial with Rushden in February 2005, but was not offered a contract.[11]
He played for Saffron Walden Town[12] before signing for Bedford Town in March 2005.[13] He left Bedford at the end of the season.[14]
In 2008, he was appointed as joint-manager of Bishops Stortford Swifts.[15]
In September 2008, he was playing for Debden, and from the start of the 2009 season he has played for Haverhill Rovers, scoring on his debut for the club in a 1–1 draw with Dereham Town. In 2012, he re-signed for Saffron Walden as a player-coach.[16] He was appointed joint manager of the club alongside Colin Wallington in 2013, and became sole manager of the club in 2014. In September 2018 he left the club.[17]
On 6 February 2019, Wardley was announced as the new manager of Haverhill Rovers.[18] However, he resigned from the role in May.[19]
