[edit] Plymouth Argyle

Edworthy began his career with Plymouth Argyle in 1991–1992 season. He played four seasons with the Pilgrims experiencing the lows of relegation and the heights of promotion.

[edit] Crystal Palace

Edworthy joined Crystal Palace who had just been relegated from the Premiershipon June 9, 1995 for £350,000. In his second season with the Eagles they won promotion to the Premier League, only to be relegated in bottom place after just one season.

[edit] Coventry City

On 26 August 1998 he was bought by Premiership side Coventry City for £1,200,000. With the Sky Blues he again suffered relegation, this time from the Premiership. He left at the end of the 2001–02 season to join Wolverhampton Wanderers.

[edit] Wolverhampton Wanderes

He started his Wolves career on 31 August 2002, helping them get promoted to the Premiership via the playoffs, but left after just one season to join Norwich City on a free transfer.[1]

[edit] Norwich City

In his first season with Norwich City he helped the Canaries win promotion to the Premiership. But again, he suffered relegation from the Premiership when Norwich finished in 19th place. He left in the summer of 2005 to join Derby County,[2] after a contract dispute with Norwich manager Nigel Worthington led to him becoming a free agent when his two-year deal expired.

He was a member of the Derby squad that won promotion to the Premiership via the play-offs at the end of the 2006–07 season, being voted second in the Player of the Season contest along the way.
