A utility player, Warner began his career in the youth system at Premier League club Southampton and signed his first professional contract in August 1997.

[4] Warner made six appearances during the 1998–99 season, but failed to appear after October 1998.

[6] He made just 15 appearances and returned to The Dell two months early, in March 2000.

[13] [14] He made 26 appearances during 18 months at the Abbey Stadium. [10]
