Darren Brian Salton (born 16 March 1972 in Edinburgh) is a former Scottish under-21 international footballer, whose career was cut short by injuries suffered in a car accident.

Playing career

Darren Salton joined Luton Town as a trainee in 1988, along with a friend from Edinburgh, Paul Telfer. Salton signed professionally in March 1989, and made his league debut at Elland Road against Leeds United on 29 February 1992.^[1]

Salton became a first-team regular in the early part of the 1992–93 season, starting 15 of Luton's first 17 league games that season. He was also capped six times by Scotland under-21, but his promising career came to an abrupt end when he and Telfer were involved in a car crash on 27 November 1992.^[2] Although Telfer, the vehicle's driver, suffered only minor injuries, a woman died in the collision and Salton was severely injured; the wounds to his leg ensured that he never played professional football again.^[1]^[3]

Non-playing career

Salton still lives in the Luton area, and was manager of Southern League side Hitchin Town from December 2004 until November 2007.^[4] After a spell as assistant manager at Hemel Hempstead, he became assistant manager at Slough Town in March 2009.^[1]^[5]
