[edit] Football career
Darren Powell began his career with Hampton before moving to Brentford where he spent four years. In August 2002 he signed for Crystal Palace for £400,000 and initially became an integral part of the team, scoring in the dying seconds of Palace's Play-off Semi-Final Second Leg game, at Sunderland taking the score on the night to a 2–1 defeat, but the aggregate score to 4–4. Palace won on penalties,[1] and were promoted to the Premiership, following a Final win over West Ham. After promotion, he fell out of favour and spent a month at the end of 2004 on loan to West Ham where he scored once in the league against Watford.[2]
In July 2005 he was out of contract and signed for Harry Redknapp at Southampton on a Bosman free transfer. Powell's first goal for the Saints was against Ipswich Town on 13 September 2005.[3] Powell scored his second goal for the club with a first minute tap in from Adam Hammill's cross in a 3–2 home defeat to QPR.[4] After three years of failing to establish himself in the first team due to a run of minor injuries, returning Chairman Rupert Lowe decided not to renew Powell's contract.[5]
He trained with Charlton Athletic whilst searching for a club and was handed a trial at Derby County in November 2008.[6] On 21 November 2008, Powell signed an initial two month contract for the Pride Park based outfit[7] and made his debut in the 2–0 defeat to Ipswich Town a day later. Powell was released by the East Midlands outfit on 21 January 2009, after new Rams manager Nigel Clough decided against extending his contract, Powell played 8 times for Derby County.[8]
On 11 March 2009 Powell joined Leeds United on a trial basis.[9] He re-signed for his first professional club, Brentford, on 21 March 2009 on a contract until the end of the season. He managed only a handful of appearances before being released at the end of the season. On 7 August 2009 he had agreed one year contract with League One team Mitlon Keynes Dons. He played his first game for the dons in the 0-0 draw against Hartlepool on 8 August 2009[10]
Along with 3 other players he was released by MK Dons at the end of his contract on 30 June 2010.[11]
In January 2012 Hampton & Richmond Borough Chairman Steve McPherson claimed that Powell was close to making a comeback with the club.[12] a move which was confirmed on 27 January.[13]He Made his second debut for the club the next day coming off the bench at half time in a 2-2 draw away to Havant & Waterlooville.[14]
