Career


He played in the Football League for Nottingham Forest, Bristol Rovers,[1] Huddersfield Town,[2] Swansea City, Wrexham,[3] Cambridge United,[4] Preston North End[5] (where he briefly played alongside a young David Beckham), and Leyton Orient.[6] He also spent a year in the Chinese Jia-A League with Guangdong Hongyuan.[7]

After leaving Leyton Orient, Raynor moved into non-league football with clubs including Kettering Town, Ilkeston Town, Boston United,[8] King's Lynn, Hednesford Town, where he spent a few months as player-manager,[9][10] Gainsborough Trinity,[11] Ossett Albion, and then King's Lynn again, to be released at the end of the 2002–03 season, only to rejoin for the next.[12][13]


Coaching career


Raynor has coached at clubs Sheffield United and Boston United, where he was assistant manager for a time to Steve Evans.[14] In May 2007 Evans and Raynor left Boston to take over as manager and assistant at Crawley Town,[15] where he occasionally appeared as a player in the Conference.[8] The pair subsequently moved to Rotherham United. On 28 September 2015, Raynor left Rotherham.[8] On 19 October 2015, Raynor joined fellow Championship side Leeds United, once again as assistant to Evans.[16][17] On 31 May 2016, Evans and Raynor were both sacked by Leeds owner Massimo Cellino, with Evans becoming the sixth manager sacked by Cellino in two years.[18]

In June 2019 Raynor linked up with Evans once again at Gillingham.[19] Both departed the club on 9 January 2022.[20]
