Kelvin Langmead (born 23 March 1985 in Coventry) is an English footballer who currently plays for English League Two club Shrewsbury Town. He wears the number 8 shirt for the club and has played most of his career as a striker, but since September 2006 has been employed as a central defender.
Beginning his career as a trainee at Preston North End, he spent a month on loan to Tamworth in the Football Conference, where he played two matches in September 2003.
His second loan spell from Preston was later in the same season, and was at Div.3 (IV) club Carlisle. He played 11 matches, his league début coming in a 4-1 defeat at Torquay on 6 March 2004. His first goal was at Mansfield in a 3-2 win on April 24.
Langmead stayed in the same division, which changed its name to Football League Two, and he changed his club to Kidderminster Harriers. Again he played 11 matches and got one goal. He returned to Preston for his only match for the club, a substitute appearance for the Championship game against Millwall (1-1, 13 November 2004).
Two weeks later he made his Shrewsbury debut, shortly after the appointment of former Preston manager and youth development chief Gary Peters as Shrews manager. Langmead played just three matches for the Shropshire club (scoring one goal) before making the move a permanent one, signing on a free transfer.
Langmead then made more than 80 appearances in League Two for Shrewsbury as a striker, and although far from prolific, he improved his scoring rate. In September 2006, after noticing his aerial ability when defending corners, Gary Peters trialled him at centre-back in a reserve fixture. He has since played in this position for the first team, and was recognised in the League Two team of the week for his performance against Macclesfield Town on 6 October 2006.[1]
