| Dean Austin | Having had two spells as a junior at the Hornets, Dean Austin signed for local side St. Albans before he made a £14,000 move to Southend United in 1990. Spent two years at Roots Hall making 109 appearances, scoring three times, until he joined the club he supported as a boy coming to White Hart Lane for a fee of £3750,000 in the summer of 1992. Played on the opposite flank to former Southend team-mate right back Justin Edinburgh and joined in the attacks with over-lapping runs as well as being a tenacious defender. After 160 appearances, Dean joined Crystal Palace and Woking before moving into coaching. Has a post in the Watford Academy in 2002-2003, he then moved on but returned to Vicarage Road on 28th November 2008 to take the post of assistant manager by Brendan Rodgers. Sacked by the club in late 2009, several other posts took him around the country until he was back with Watford as assistant coach in January 2015, lasting two years before he took on a similar role at Northampton Town, eventually taking the manager’s role, but was sacked a month into the 2019-2020 season. Made one more return to Watford in September 2019, but it lasted only three months. As of November 2024, Austin was Head of Recruitment at Coventry City. |
