[edit] Career

Emblen started his career as a youth player at Tonbridge Angels F.C. before moving to Sittingbourne F.C. and then Millwall. After spending a year with the Lions, Emblen was sold to Wolverhampton Wanderers for £600,000, where he would become a regular during his three years at Molineux. A £2,000,000 move to Crystal Palace beckoned in 1997 but would last just one season, and in 1998 Emblen moved back to Wolves. Emblen's second three-year spell ended in 2001 when he moved to Norwich City for £500,000. Emblen started just six games in a two-year spell with the Canaries because of injury problems and spent the last few months of his contract on loan to Walsall (in two separate spells), whom he joined permanently on a two-year deal in June 2003. Upon leaving Walsall in 2005, Emblen moved to New Zealand to join the now-defunct New Zealand Knights. After the Knights ceased playing, Emblen moved to Waitakere United, although he is expected to join Puerto Rico Islanders in June and July.^[1]
