Darren Brian Salton (born 16 March 1972 in Edinburgh) is a former Scottish under-21 international footballer, whose career was cut short by injuries suffered in a car accident.

Playing career

Darren Salton joined Luton Town as a trainee in 1988, along with a friend from Edinburgh, Paul Telfer. Salton signed professionally in March 1989, and was capped six times by Scotland under-21 before he made his league debut at Elland Road against Leeds United in 1992.[1]

Salton's career was over before it even started, when he and Telfer were involved in a car crash in late November 1992. Although Telfer, the vehicle's driver, suffered only minor injuries, a woman died in the collision and Salton was severely injured; the wounds to his leg ensured that he never played professionally again.[1][2]

Non-playing career

Salton still lives in the Luton area, and was manager of Southern League side Hitchin Town from December 2004 until November 2007.[3] After a spell as assistant manager at Hemel Hempstead, he became assistant manager at Slough Town in March 2009.[1][4]
