Rob Edwards may only be at the start of his managerial career, but he has already overseen two promotions - one of those to the Premier League.
As a player, centre-back Edwards had a journeyman career across nine different clubs including Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Barnsley.
The Wales international made over a 100 appearances for Wolves and was part of the Blackpool squad that won promotion to the Premier League via the Championship play-off final. But his career progress was stifled by an ankle injury which eventually cut short his playing career.
After brief spells cutting his managerial teeth at Telford and the England Under-16s, Edwards was named head coach of League Two Forest Green Rovers and secure the title at the end of the 2021/22 season.
He began the 2022/23 season at Watford but was sacked in September 2022 after winning just three of eleven league games.
He joined Watford's bitter rivals Luton Town two months later and guided them to the Premier League by winning the 2023 Championship play-off final against Coventry.
But after relegation from the Premier League and struggling back in the Championship, Edwards left Luton in January 2025.
