Ian Selley (born 14 June 1974) is an English football manager and former professional footballer who is the current manager of Isthmian League South Central Division club Westfield.[3][4]
He notably played in the
During his time at Arsenal he made three appearances for the England Under-21 international team. He was a member of the last time Arsenal fielded an all English team in a Premier League game, in a 1–1 draw at home against Wimbledon on 19 April 1994.
Playing career
Arsenal
Selley joined
In February 1995 Selley broke his leg playing against Leicester City, which forced him out for most of the 1996–97 season, playing just once under new manager Wenger as a late substitute against Chelsea.[7] Despite reports that he would be a part of Arsène Wenger's new side he was sold to Fulham in 1997 for £500,000, after playing 41 games for Arsenal in the league.
Fulham and Wimbledon
Unfortunately for him, he broke his leg a second time after playing just three games for Fulham and moved to Wimbledon in July 2000.[8] However Wimbledon were facing financial difficulties, and a bonus payment clause in his contract meant the club could not always afford to play him. Selley started just one game with three substitute appearances for Wimbledon.
Southend United
In February 2002 he was loaned to Southend United,[9] where he enjoyed more success, playing fourteen games in the 2000–01 season. He went on loan to Southend again in the 2002–03 season,[10] playing 11 times. In all he played more than 30 times for Southend in all competitions.
Woking
Selley was released by Wimbledon in May 2003,
He picked up nine yellow cards in his time at Southend United and picked up 10 bookings in his first season at Woking, six the season after that and four in the following season. Injury ruled him out of much of the 2006–07 season, and he was eventually released by Woking at the end of the season.
Further non-League career
Following his release from
Selley left
On 19 December 2023, Selley, having been appointed manager at Westfield in the Isthmian League Division One South and registered himself as a player, made his debut for the club at the age of 49, playing most of the second half in a 2–4 defeat to Ashford United in the Velocity Cup.[19] Two months later, on 20 February 2024, he made another cup appearance, this time as an 87th-minute substitute in a 2-0 win against Midhurst & Easebourne in the first round of the Aldershot Senior Cup.
Management career
On 1 November 2021, Selley was appointed as manager of his home town club Chertsey Town. He departed the club in May 2022 after leading the team to the Isthmian South Central play-off final.[20][21] He was previously in charge of Sandhurst Town.[22]
In November 2022, Selley was appointed manager of Hartley Wintney.[23] He was sacked by the club in January 2023.[24]
On 25 February 2023, Selley was confirmed as the new first team manager of Westfield (Surrey).[25]
