Gary Brabin (born 9 December 1970) is an English former professional footballer who is the current manager of Tranmere Rovers.

Playing career

In November 2006 he signed for Northern Premier League side Burscough where he has assisted with coaching in addition to his playing duties.[2]

Managerial career

In June 2007, Brabin was appointed as assistant manager of The New Saints.[3]

Southport

On 8 April 2008 Brabin re-joined Southport as manager until the end of the 2007–08 season, replacing Peter Davenport.[4] Despite guiding the team into the play-offs, Brabin left Southport to sign as manager of Cambridge United on a two-year contract on 23 June 2008.[5]

Cambridge United

In June 2009 he was named the Conference Premier Manager of the Year.[6] Brabin was relieved of his duties as manager on 13 July 2009 by the board following a series of disputes.[7]

Luton

Three-and-a-half months later, Brabin returned to football with Luton Town in the capacity of chief scout.[8]

Following the end of the 2009–10 season, Brabin was named as Luton's assistant manager, taking over from Alan Neilson.[9] He was promoted to manager until the end of the season on 28 March 2011 after Richard Money left the club.[10] Brabin secured Luton's place in the Conference Premier play-offs, leading them to a 5–1 aggregate victory over Wrexham in the semi-finals. However, Luton then drew 0–0 after extra time with fellow finalists AFC Wimbledon, eventually losing 4–3 in a penalty shootout that left the club facing a third year at non-league level.[11] Brabin received the full support from the Luton board despite the disappointment of the defeat and, one week later, he signed a new two-year contract to stay as permanent manager.[12][13] Despite this, he was sacked on 31 March 2012 after the team fell out of the play-off positions with seven games remaining.[14]

Return to Southport

Brabin returned to Southport for the third time on 6 October 2014 replacing Martin Foyle.[15] His first match in charge was against Lincoln City where he saw his team recover from 2-0 to draw 3-3.[16] His first victory came in the very next game away at Braintree Town, winning 2-0[17] with his first signing Amadou Bakayoko[18] scoring one of the goals. On 20 January 2015 Brabin left Southport to take up a post at Everton to be part of the coaching set up to under-21 level.[19]

Tranmere Rovers

On 5 May 2015, Brabin was appointed as the manager of Tranmere Rovers following their relegation to the National League.[20]
