Chris Hargreaves (born May 12, 1972 in Cleethorpes, England) is an English footballer, currently playing for Conference National side Torquay United. Early in his career he played as a forward but later converted to a midfield role.[1]

[edit] Biography

Hargreaves began his career as a trainee with Grimsby Town in June 1988, turning professional in December 1989.[1] He had a loan spell with Scarborough in March 1993, before leaving Grimsby to join Hull City in July 1993 for a fee of £5000.[1]

He moved to West Bromwich Albion on a free transfer in July 1995, but made just two first team appearances for the Baggies (both as a substitute). He joined Hereford United on loan in February 1996 until the end of the season when he moved to Hereford on a free transfer. His next move was in July 1998 when he joined Plymouth Argyle on a free transfer. He was a regular in the Argyle side, leaving to join Northampton Town on a free transfer in June 2000.[2] He was Northampton's player of the year in the 2001-02 season, signing a new two-year contract in July 2002.[3]

Hargreaves made over 150 league appearances for Northampton, leaving to join Brentford in June 2004.[4] Hargreaves joined Oxford United on free transfer in July 2005,[5] remaining with Oxford after their relegation to the Conference in 2006. He was released by Oxford in May 2007,[6] signing for newly relegated Torquay United the following month.[7]
