Paul Warhurst

Manchester City

Warhurst began his career as a trainee at Manchester City in 1988, he was added to the club's first team squad at the beginning of the 1988–89 season, but never played for the first team

Oldham Athletic

He joined Oldham Athletic for a fee of £10,000 in the autumn of 1988, just after his 19th birthday. There he became a first team regular, featuring in the team's memorable run to the semi-finals of the 1989-90 FA Cup. After 86 appearances (scoring twice), he began to capture the eye of bigger clubs and the 1990–91 season was his final season for the club.

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday came in for Warhurst in the summer of 1991, for £750,000. He began his career at the club as a solid defender, but midway through his second season, injuries to David Hirst and Mark Bright saw Warhurst deployed as an emergency striker. In a phenomenal sequence, he scored 12 goals in as many games, and after four years as a defender, was called up to the injury-hit England national team as a striker. Warhurst was injured, however, and missed an opportunity to win his first cap. His scoring ratio inevitably slowed down, and when Hirst returned to action, Warhurst fell out with manager Trevor Francis, who wanted the player to return to defensive duties but Warhurst only wanted to be a striker now. In the summer of 1993, Warhurst was transfer-listed and left the club after the start of the following season, having scored 18 goals in 88 games for…

Warhurst was released by Barnet following the conclusion of the 2006–07 season. In September 2007 he joined Northwich Victoria and on 17 September took over as caretaker manager following Neil Redfearn's resignation. Despite initially being favourite to be permanent manager, he left the club before the appointment was decided. Warhurst has since retired from football.

Warhurst now runs his own football consultancy company, named "PW Football Consultants". He is also a director of sports management agency "Stone Mountain Management". Notable players that Warhurst has helped during his time as a football consultant are Callum McManaman, Jon Walters and Ben Mee.
