David Artell - Football Coach

David John Artell (born 22 November 1980) is a football manager and former professional player who is head coach of EFL League Two club Grimsby Town. He began his career as a centre back with Rotherham United, as the "Millers" won successive promotions from the Third Division to the First Division in 1999–2000 and 2000–01. He joined Shrewsbury Town on loan for the 2002–03 season before successive two-year spells with Mansfield Town and Chester City, then joining Morecambe in July 2007. He joined Crewe Alexandra in June 2010, and captained the "Railwaymen" to victory in the 2012 League Two play-off final. He joined Port Vale in July 2012 but switched to Northampton Town the following month. After a loan spell at Wrexham in February 2013, he joined the club permanently seven months later. He signed with Bala Town in the summer of 2014, and then Port Talbot Town in February 2016, and then Kidsgrove Athletic and Droylsden in 2016. He also won seven caps for the Gibraltar national team in 2014 and 2015. He was appointed manager of Crewe Alexandra in January 2017 and went on to lead the club to promotion out of League Two at the end of the 2019–20 season, and became League Two Manager of the Year as a result. In 2020–21, Crewe finished 12th in League One – the club's highest finish since 2005–06 - but the following season was one of the worst in Crewe's modern history; the club was relegated back to League Two with four games still to play, and on 11 April 2022 Crewe parted company with Artell.
