Career
Townsend began his career as a trainee with Wolverhampton Wanderers, but despite signing professional terms with the club never played a first team match for the club.
He moved to Third Division Hereford United in Summer 1996 on a free transfer, where he reunited with his former Wolves manager Graham Turner.
The defender made his senior debut on 17 August 1996 in a 0–1 defeat at Fulham, and went on to make ten appearances in total for the club in the football league . At the end of the season the team suffered relegation from the Football League and Townsend was released.
After leaving Hereford, Townsend signed for his hometown club Worcester City, before having a good semi pro career representing a number of non-league clubs in the Midlands.
He now manages Stourport Swift’s Fc in the Midland Premier Division.
