[edit] Career

[edit] Plymouth Argyle

Edworthy began his career with Plymouth Argyle in the 1991–1992 season.

[edit] Crystal Palace

Edworthy joined Crystal Palace who had just been relegated from the Premiership on 9 June 1995 for £350,000. In his second season with the Eagles they won promotion to the Premier League, only to be relegated in bottom place after just one season.

[edit] Coventry City

On 26 August 1998, he was bought by Premiership side Coventry City for £1,200,000. With the Sky Blues he again suffered relegation, this time from the Premiership. He left at the end of the 2001–02 season to join Wolverhampton Wanderers.

[edit] Wolverhampton Wanderers

He started his Wolves career on 31 August 2002, helping them earn promotion to the Premier League via the playoffs, but left after just one season to join Norwich City on a free transfer.^[1]

[edit] Norwich City

In his first season with Norwich City he helped the Canaries win promotion to the Premier League. But again, he suffered relegation from the Premier League when Norwich finished in 19th place. He left in the summer of 2005 to join Derby County,^[2] after a contract dispute with Norwich manager Nigel Worthington led to him becoming a free agent when his two-year deal expired.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Derby County

He was a member of the Derby squad that won promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs at the end of the 2006–07 season, being voted second in the Player of the Season contest along the way.
