Ben Strevens

Strevens began his career at Wingate & Finchley and in the 1998–99 season in the Isthmian League Division Three he scored 28 league goals coming joint second in the top scorers chart, helping the side to promotion. He was then signed by Barnet, having scored 38 goals in 67 appearances for the Blues. He was then loaned out to Slough Town and then to St Albans City, before becoming a regular first team player for the Bees. He made 41 appearances in 2005–06 season for Barnet, by which point he was their longest serving player, but left the club at the end of the season, having scored 42 career goals for the club. He was the only player in the Barnet squad to be relegated to the Conference National in 2000–01 season, and then be re-promoted back into the Football League in 2004–05. He was picked up on free transfer by Crawley Town and scored his first goal for the club on his debut against Rushden & Diamonds. Strevens suffered a fractured cheek bone and damaged eye socket in Crawley's 3–2 defeat to Lewes in an FA Cup game in 2006. He signed for Dagenham & Redbridge in December 2006, whom he was promoted with at the end of the 2006–07 season into League Two. At the end of the 2008–09 season he signed for Brentford, along with Dagenham teammates Danny Foster and Sam Saunders. He joined Wycombe Wanderers in 2010, helping them to win promotion to League One in his first season, only to be relegated back to League Two the following year. Strevens was then released by Wycombe in May…

On 5 November 2018, Strevens was appointed as permanent manager of Eastleigh after a spell as caretaker manager. On 26 January 2022, Strevens left the club by mutual consent with the club sitting in 14th place. His last match in charge was a 1–0 defeat to Dover Athletic, the opposition's first victory in 364 days. On 10 March 2023, Strevens was appointed manager of his former club Dagenham & Redbridge. He was awarded the National League Manager of the Month award for March 2024 having guided his side away from the relegation zone with an impressive run of form. He left the club on 26 December 2024 after a poor run of results left the Daggers five points above the relegation zone. In June 2025, Strevens returned to Luton Town in the role of Head of Academy Coaching, having previously coached with the club's youth sides prior to his appointment as Dagenham & Redbridge manager.
