Trevor Senior

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trevor Senior (born 28 November 1961 in Stratton, near Dorchester) was a striker with Reading Football Club.

Senior started his career at Dorchester, joining Portsmouth in 1981 for £35,000, and then moving to Reading where he scored 191 goals in 362 league and cup appearances in two spells between 1983 and 1992.

In March 1988 Senior signed for Middlesbrough on transfer deadline day for a fee of £200,000. After making 14 appearances and scoring four goals, Senior moved back to Reading in October 1988. Despite his time on Teesside being seen generally as a disapointment, Senior was instrumental in Boro's promotion in May 1988 after scoring two important goals in the play-offs.

After he left Reading for a second time in 1992, Senior spent a season with Woking, and then a short spell at Dorchester Town before signing in November 1993 for Farnborough Town. The following season he became manager of Weymouth and subsequently during 1995/96 had another spell at Farnborough. His last job was manager of Bridgwater Town in the Western Football League, before joining Dorchester, and becoming the Under 18's manager.
