Conference National , on loan from Southport.Drench began his career at Blackburn Rovers, making several appearances for the England Schoolboys side whilst at the club. Following an injury to
Ryan Robinson in 2005, he joined Morecambe on loan as goalkeeping cover. After impressing during his loan period, his loan was extended to the end of the 2005–06 season.After beginning the 2006–07 season competing with Robinson for the starting goalkeeper’s spot, Drench was confirmed at the club’s first choice goalkeeper when Ryan Robinson left to join Forest Green. A series of impressive displays over the course of the season helped Morecambe to reach the Conference play-offs. However, he was injured in a challenge with York City's
Clayton Donaldson , forcing him to miss the successful play-off final against Exeter City.Following this injury, Drench struggled to regain his first team place following the signing of Joe Lewis on loan, and in order to get match fit, Drench went on loan to Southport during the January 2008 transfer window. His loan was extended past the initial month to the end of the season and the play-offs.
After being released by Morecambe in June 2008, he signed a pre-contract agreement with Southport. On
21 August 2008 Drench signed for Cambridge United on loan until January 2009 to rivalDanny Potter for the number one shirt.
