Christer Simon Warren (born 10 October 1974 in Weymouth, Dorset) is a football player/manager for Wimborne Town in the Wessex League Premier Division. He can play in a number of positions, mainly on the left side of midfield.
Warren started his career at Cheltenham Town then in the Beazer Homes League. He became Cheltenham's record "sale" for a fee of £40,000 with clauses about appearances etc. He scored Cheltenham's goal in their 1-1 2nd Round FA Cup game against Bournemouth forcing a replay.
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. He made his debut for The Saints as a substitute away to Arsenal on 23 September 1995, and made a total of 7 appearances under new manager David Merrington, including his only start in a 3-0 defeat at Queens Park Rangers. It became clear that the Premiership was too much for him, 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 3 seasons in Division 2. In June 2000, he moved on to Queens Park Rangers on a free transfer 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 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.[1]
