Stuart Andrew Searle (born 27 February 1979) is an English footballer who is currently the assistant manager of Guildford City.
Career
Born in Wimbledon, London, Searle joined Premier League team Chelsea from Basingstoke Town as back-up for their reserve team and as a player-coach, before working there part-time.
He moved to Championship team Watford in January 2009, which re-united him with former Chelsea reserve team manager Brendan Rodgers, who had been appointed as Watford manager in November 2008. In July 2009 his contract at Watford was cancelled by mutual consent and he subsequently signed a two-year contract with League One team Milton Keynes Dons.
Stuart made his long-awaited Football League debut in 2010 against Bristol Rovers at the Memorial Stadium. He remained at MK Dons in 2010–11, making a start against Yeovil Town in a 3–2 win. However, after MK Dons' loss to Peterborough in the N-Power League play-off semi-final he was released along with three other players.
