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.
Edwards started his career as an apprentice at Aston Villa, staying at Villa Park until the end of the 2003/04 season. He only made eight first-team appearances and was mostly loaned out during his time at the club, which included spells at Crystal Palace and Derby County.
In June 2021, he joined Forest Green Rovers as head coach. In his one and only full season, he won the League Two title, guiding FGR to the third tier for the first time in their history. The style of play and dominance of his side attracted interest from Championship clubs and those in other divisions.
It would be newly relegated Championship side Watford who would take him on next. Unfortunately for Edwards, this didn't plan out the way he imagined and after just three wins in 10 league games, he was sacked in September 2022.
He then joined Watford's fierce local rivals Luton Town, guiding them to third place in the Championship and the play-off final, where the Hatters beat Coventry to secure a place in the top flight for the first time since 1991/92.
Unknown at this present moment.
