Biography

Wardley played for non-league Saffron Walden Town, Bishops Stortford and Saffron Walden again, [1] while working as removals, before joining Queens Park Rangers in July 1999 for a fee of £15,000. [2] His debut came on 7 August 1999 when he was a late substitute, for Jermaine Darlington in Rangers' 3–1 win at home to Huddersfield Town. [3]

In January 2002, Wardley joined Rushden & Diamonds on loan, signing on a free transfer in April 2002. [4] He missed most of the 2003–04 season due to a serious knee injury.
