[edit] Career

[edit] Early career: Accrington Stanley and Blackpool

After being released by hometown club, Blackburn Rovers,Ormerod began his career at Accrington Stanley in 1995 playing semi-professionally, making 52 league appearances and scoring 32 goals. While at Accrington he worked in a cotton mill to supplement playing part-time in non-league football. He was spotted playing by Gordon Strachan who vowed that his first task in getting back into management would be to buy Ormerod.[1]

He signed for Blackpool, who were then in the Second Division, on 21 March 1997 for £50,000,[2] making his debut as an 82nd minute substitute on 29 March in a 0-0 draw with Chesterfield at Saltergate.[3] His first league goal came the following season in a 1-1 draw with Carlisle Unitedon 26 December 1997 at Brunton Park.[4]

He spent four years with Blackpool, however, he suffered a badly broken leg, breaking his tibia and fibula, in October 1999 that kept him out of the team in the 1999–2000 season when the club were relegated to the Third Division, something Ormerod would later describe as, "probably the lowest point of my career".[1] When he made his return the following season, he helped the club to promotion through the play-offs. He scored the club's fourth goal in their 4-2 win over Leyton Orient in the Play-Off final at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff on 26 May 2001.[5]

After a couple of seasons back in the Second Division, he was linked with a move to Wigan Athletic in November 2001, who were reported to have bid £1.5m for him. They were one of four clubs to have made an approach for Ormerod, with Premier League club Southampton having had a £1m bid rejected. Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston said on the club's official website, "We don't have to sell Brett and we don't need to sell him. It's testament to the club's achievements and how the team are playing that other clubs are looking at players at this club."[6] However, despite this, Ormerod was signed by Southampton for £1.75m just ten days later. He had made a total of 150 appearances for the Seasiders scoring 62 goals in all competitions.[2]

[edit] Southampton

Gordon Strachan, then Southampton manager had kept his word about signing Ormerod,[1] who made his debut for the Saints on 15 December 2001 as an 84th minute substitute in a 2-0 home victory over Sunderland.[7] After a number of substitute appearances, he finally made his full debut on 2 March 2002, when he also scored his first goal for the club, in a 3-1 win over Ipswich Town at Portman Road.[8] He did not score again though until the following season, when he scored five goals in two games. On 2 October, he grabbed a hat-trick as the Saints beat Tranmere Rovers 6-1 in the second round of the 2002–03 Football League Cup.[9] He followed that up three days later by scoring both goal as Southampton beat Manchester City 2-0 at St Mary's Stadium.[10][11]

On 13 April 2003, after enduring a 24 game goalless drought Ormerod scored one goal and laid up another as Southampton beat Watford 2-1 in the semi-final of the 2002–03 FA Cup at Villa Park.[1] Ormerod then appeared in the FA Cup Final on 17 May at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, which Southampton lost 1–0 to a Robert Pires goal in the 37th minute.[12]

Ormerod found first-team opportunities limited at Southampton and on 19 September 2004, in an attempt to secure some first-team football, he joined Leeds United on a one month loan deal,[13] making six appearances. On 18 March 2005 he joined Wigan Athletic on loan for one month with a view to a permanent move.[14] The move was intended to last until the end of the season and he made six appearances, scoring two goals in their 2-0 win against Leicester City at the Walkers Stadium on 16 April,[15] before being recalled by Southampton manager Harry Redknapp on 26 April following an injury to Peter Crouch.[16]

After Southampton finished bottom of the Premer League in 2004–05 and were relegated to the Championship, he was able to play more often after the sale of several teammates who had been keeping him out of the team. Ormerod said of his time with the club, "I had some of the best years of my career at Southampton. Its a big club with great supporters. If I had my time again I would do exactly the same again, particularly as I got to play in a cup final."[17]

[edit] Preston North End

On 27 January 2006, Ormerod was snapped up on a free transfer by Preston North End, the arch-rivals of his former club Blackpool.[2] After signing a three-ane-a-half year contract, he said of the move, "It's a new start for me. Preston are a good team and I'm just really happy to be here." Four days later he scored just thirteen minutes into his debut as they beat Crystal Palace 2-0 at Deepdale.[18][17]

On 8 May, he broke his leg, ten minutes into Preston's 0-2 playoff semi-final second leg defeat to Leeds United, following a tackle by Leeds' Jonathan Douglas.[19][20] He made his return the following season as a 70th minute substitute in a 4-1 home win over Sunderland on 14 October,[21] and scored his first goal of the season in a 3–2 defeat to Burnley at Turf Moor on 27 October.[22] He fractured his cheekbone fifteen minutes into the 0-1 home defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers on 10 February 2007.[20][23]

After making twenty league and cup appearances, scoring one goal in the 2007–08 season, Ormerod signed on loan for Nottingham Forest on 7 March 2008, until the end of the season.[24] He scored two goals for Forest in thirteen appearances against Walsall and Northampton Town, with his decent form helping Forest gain promotion to the Championship.[20][25]

On 15 October 2008 he joined League One club Oldham Athletic on a one month loan deal, after falling out of favour at Preston and without making one appearance in the 2008–09 season.[25] He made two starts and three substitute appearances for the Latics, but was forced to return to Preston earlier than scheduled after sustaining a broken toe in training in early November.[26] His last game for Preston came in March 2008, he scored a total of thirteen goals in 62 league appearances.[27]

[edit] Return to Blackpool

On 30 January 2009, after being released by Preston by mutual consent, Ormerod once again signed for their West Lancashire rivals Blackpool on a permanent deal until the end of the 2008-09 season.[27][28] He made his debut for Blackpool the following day as a 90th-minute substitute in the Seasiders' single-goal victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.[29]

On 7 March 2009 he scored the first goal in Blackpool's 2-0 victory over Norwich City at Bloomfield Road. It was his 100th league goal and his first goal since returning to the club.[30] On 25 April, Ormerod's goal in a 1-1 home draw with Nottingham Forest that secured the Seasiders another season in the Championship.

On 24 June Ormerod signed a new one year contract, with an option for a further year, with Blackpool manager Ian Holloway saying, "I am delighted that Brett has signed again. He was a key player in the side that did well for the club towards the end of last season. He wants to be here, and is everything Blackpool stands for."[31]
