Darren Garner
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English Template:Infobox football biography Darren John Garner (born 10 December 1971 in Plymouth) is an English professional footballer. He currently plays for Launceston F.C.
Garner began his professional football career as a trainee with Plymouth Argyle, turning professional in March 1989. He moved to non-league Dorchester Town on a free transfer in August 1994 and in June 1995 moved to Rotherham United for a fee of £30,000.
In ten years at Rotherham, in which he played over 250 games, he helped the Millers to two promotions and an Auto Windscreen Shield in 1996,[1] but fell out of favour with both his manager and the club's fans in February 2005 after being substituted in a game at home to Nottingham Forest. The hand gestures he gave while leaving the field were reported by the Fourth Official, leading to FA charges and a £500 fine.[2]
The following month Garner moved to Torquay United on loan until the end of the season,[3] failing to prevent Torquay's relegation. He joined Torquay on a free transfer in June 2005,[4] playing in a side almost relegated for a second successive season.
In June 2006 he was given in 3-month contract extension,[5] but in October 2006 was told by Torquay manager Ian Atkins that he would be released at the end of November.[6] He left Torquay in early November having agreed a settlement for the end of his contract. He signed for Newport County on 7 November 2006.[7] He first featured for County as a sub against Swansea City in the FA Cup 1st round proper. He joined Cornish non-league side Launceston after being released by Newport in March 2007.[8][9]
However, Garner joined Truro City later the same month. He left Truro in the summer of 2007 to join Bodmin Town, but left Bodmin in September 2007 to re-join Launceston.
On 14 February 2009 Garner had his debut as Manager for Launceston, after the resignation of Paul Smith.
