Club career

Colchester United

Gerken was born in Southend-on-Sea. He started his career at Southend United as a youngster before moving to Essex rivals Colchester United.[1] As a teenager he attracted the attention of England goalkeeping coach Ray Clemence.[1] He made his first-team debut against Brentford in League One in 2004, as a stand-in for Simon Brown and Richard McKinney.[2] In the 2004–05 season, replacing first-choice goalkeeper Aidan Davison, Gerken kept four clean sheets in 17 appearances.[3][4]

More appearances in Colchester's successful 2005–06 campaign gave Gerken another four clean sheets,[5] including the crucial 0–0 draw at Yeovil Town that clinched Colchester's promotion to the Football League Championship.[6]

Gerken made the number one position his own[7] as the over-achieving[8] U's ended the 2006–07 season in tenth place.[9] Gerken was crowned Colchester's Young Player of the Year for 2007.[10] He signed an extended contract in July 2007,[7] and played 40 League games during the 2007–08 season,[11] at the end of which Colchester were relegated back to League One.[9]

On 15 January 2009, Gerken signed a one-month loan deal with League Two side Darlington.[12] He went straight into the starting eleven for their next game, a 5–1 defeat of Luton Town.[13]

Gerken returned to his parent club soon after, due to Darlington going into administration.

Bristol City

On 30 June 2009, it was confirmed that Bristol City had completed the signing of Gerken for an undisclosed fee, to end his seven-season stay with Colchester United. Gerken was arrested on suspicion of indecent exposure in the early hours of 25 October 2009 after he was allegedly spotted urinating in public.[14]
