Bradley Neil Carnell (born 21 January 1977) is a South African football coach and former footballer who played as a defender. He was most recently the coach of Major League Soccer club St. Louis City SC.
Early career
[edit]Born in Johannesburg, Carnell attended Parktown Boys' High School in Johannesburg. The old Parktown boy played for Southern Suburbs and Robertsham Callies juniors as a goalkeeper and he was later converted to a defender. He was regularly selected to play at district levels being coached by former Southampton, Hereford United and Cheltenham Town winger and former Wits University manager Terry Paine.[1]
Playing career
[edit]Carnell made his professional debut at the age of 16 in 1993 playing for Wits University. He played for Kaizer Chiefs (1997–98), VfB Stuttgart (1998–2003) and Borussia Mönchengladbach (2003–05). His greatest success came at Stuttgart where he helped win the league silver in 2003. He was selected for the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
According to media reports, he was involved in an on-field altercation with a fellow player (goalkeeper Markus Miller) during a German league match in Frankfurt during September 2007.[2]
In July 2009 he moved to F.C. Hansa Rostock. On 13 July 2010, he signed for SuperSport United F.C.[3]
He announced his retirement from football on 27 August 2011.
