[edit] Playing career

Digby was a Manchester United apprentice, making his League debut whilst on loan at Oldham Athletic in 1985, joining Swindon Town on a free transfer in December 1986 after 2 loan spells. Digby, who has represented England schools, youth and U-21s, did not leave the club until 1998 and played for them during their brief Premier League stint. He featured in several play-off finals, including the 4-3 victory over Leicester City in 1993 which booked Swindon place at the top division. He signed for Crystal Palace in August 1998, and then to QPR in 2001. He was released by QPR due to money shortages after which he played a handful of games for Non-league club Purfleet. He joined Kidderminster Harriers in 2003 on a game-by-game basis (non-contractual) whilst at the same time rejoining former club Swindon and taking on the two roles of commercial manager and goalkeeping coach by Andy King.
