David Anthony Bell (born 21 January 1984) is a former professional footballer. A midfielder, he played for Norwich City, Coventry City, Luton Town, Rushden & Diamonds and Notts County.

Playing career

The 2006–07 season was very much a breakthrough season for him as he went from a squad player at Luton to one of the club's key players under Mike Newell and Kevin Blackwell. In January 2007 he was given a contract extension, running through to 2010.

At the end of season awards, Bell won the Internet Player of the Season and Young Supporters' Player of the Season – an achievement few fans believed possible at the start of the season, as Bell had not even broken into the starting line-up at the season's beginning.

On 28 March 2008, he joined Leicester City on loan with a view to a permanent transfer.[1] However, Leicester's relegation to League One meant the permanent deal did not go ahead.

Was once nutmegged by Rushden and Diamonds youth team player, Aaron Watts, during a training session.

On 23 July 2008, it was confirmed that Bell had agreed a three-year deal with Norwich City, signing for an undisclosed fee.[2] His debut for the club was delayed by an ankle injury incurred before his signing.[3] He finally made his first appearance in a home defeat to Derby County on 4 October 2008.[4]

On 29 January 2009, he signed for Coventry City, for a fee believed to be on the region of £500,000.

Bell scored his first goal for Coventry on 21 March 2009 with a 45-yard strike against Doncaster at the Ricoh Arena.[5] he scored in Coventry's FA Cup 3rd round tie draw at Premier League club Portsmouth on 2 January 2010.[6]

On 19 July 2013, Bell signed for Notts County after being released from his contract with Coventry.[7] On 24 January 2014, he was released by Notts County by mutual consent[8] and signed for King's Lynn Town.[9]

Coaching career

On 19 October 2016, Bell was appointed as Assistant Manager to fellow former Rushden & Diamonds academy product Gary Mills at Corby Town.[10] Bell became Corby manager in May 2017 after Mills left the club.[11] He was sacked in September 2017.[12]
