He became manager of Kingstonian in 2001, and later joined the coaching staff of Luton Town.

Playing career

Sedgley was born in Enfield. He made more than 180 first-team appearances for Tottenham Hotspur as a player after a £750,000 move from Coventry City in July 1989 before switching to Ipswich Town for £1 million in June 1994. More than 100 appearances followed for Ipswich before the final move of his playing career, a £500,000 transfer to Wolverhampton Wanderers in July 1997, where he again made more than 100 League appearances before retiring from the game in December 2000.[3] He has two FA Cup-winners' medals. The first came with Coventry, as an unused substitute in the 3–2 defeat of Spurs in the 1987 final.[4] He received his second in 1991 when he was in the starting XI for Spurs, as they beat Nottingham Forest 2–1 after extra time.[5]

Coaching career

Sedgley was appointed manager of Kingstonian in October 2001, stepping up from the position of coach,[6] but resigned 14 months later, citing "a clash of opinions off the pitch with the club's owners".[7] A UEFA-qualified coach, Sedgley was appointed as a youth team coach at Luton Town in mid-October 2005 where he worked alongside Marvin Johnson[8] until new manager Kevin Blackwell brought in his own backroom staff in 2007.[9]
