Christer Simon Warren (born 10 October 1974 in Weymouth, Dorset) is a former football player.
Football career
Warren started his career at Cheltenham Town then in the Beazer Homes League. On 5 December 1992, he scored Cheltenham's goal in their 1–1 Second Round FA Cup game against Bournemouth forcing a replay.[1] He became Cheltenham's then record "sale" for a fee of £40,000 with clauses about appearances etc.[2]
He was signed for Southampton at the end of the 1994–95 season and was viewed by manager Alan Ball as a good investment, who could play in any position on the left side.[3] He made his debut for The Saints as a substitute away to Arsenal on 23 September 1995, and made a total of seven appearances under new manager David Merrington, including his only start in a 3–0 defeat at Queens Park Rangers.[4] It became clear that the Premiership was too much for him,[3] and in October 1996 he was loaned to Brighton for a month. He made one further substitute appearance for Southampton in March 1997 before spending the rest of the season on loan at Fulham, where he helped them gain promotion from Division 3 under manager Micky Adams.
In October 1997, he moved across the New Forest for a fee of £50,000 to join Bournemouth where he spent three seasons in Division 2. In June 2000, he moved on to Queens Park Rangers on a free transfer[3] and was part of the squad who saw Q.P.R. relegated to Football League Division 2 at the end of the 2000–01 season. After a trial at Oxford United in the summer of 2002 he spent a few weeks with Bristol Rovers on a non-contract basis before dropping down to lower-league football.
In October 2002 he signed for Eastleigh[3] and in October 2005 he joined Winchester City of the Wessex League. In September 2006 he left Winchester to join Lymington & New Milton, before moving on to Wimborne Town in February 2007. In April 2007, he was appointed first-team manager at Wimborne Town[5] but was relieved of his duties in November 2008.[6]
Later he played in French football for FC Boutonnais[7] and finally at US Melle. He settled in La Rochelle.[8]
