Warren joined the club in a coaching role in September 2004, as well as signing conference forms in case of an emergency.
Warren began his career as a YTS at Watford at the age of 14 After being told he was too small, joined the YTS scheme at Leyton Orient, where after 1 year of a 2 year contract was once again told he was told he was "surplus to requirements". He then went on to sign for Leytonstone Ilford, who were managed at the time by a certain John Still. After spending 18 months or so at Green Pond Road (where Leytonstone Ilford were sharing) Warren got the chance to be reunited with John Still at Maidstone.
Warren then got the chance to join Newcaastle when then-manager Ossie Ardiles offered £250,000 for the defender's services. Wimbledon tabled a big of £300,000 and he was on his way to join the Crazy Gang, winning the "Young Player of the Year" award in his first season.
In the June or 1995, after being with the club in what most would say their most successfull era, Warren joined the club he almost joined 5 years earlier, for £4 million.
After 7 years and over 200 appearances for the Tyneside, he joined Derby County. From there he joined QPR and then back to Wimbledon towards the end of last season.
Warren combines his coaching role at the club with working for Sky TV as an Match Analyser & Summariser.
