David Rainford

Bio

Central midfield player who was signed from an Essex club to form part of a squad which was expected to challenge for the title in the 99/00 season.

Capable of passing the ball over a variation of distances and also of scoring from long distance, Rainford struck up a midfield partnership with Mark Hawthorne at the club. Was quite often the centre of debate amongst supporters about his inclusion in the Slough side, but was also capable of playing on the right hand side of defence. Once scored all five goals in a 5-5 reserve team game at Croydon.

Came back for a short second spell before joining Bishops Stortford and then onto Dagenham & Redbridge where he captained them into the Football League and survival in their first season in professional football. Decided to return to part time football ahead of the 2008/9 season to concentrate on his teaching career and joined Chelmsford City in the Conference South division.

Scored ten times in his time with Slough with a single goal coming from his nine appearances in his second spell at the club.
