Chelsea career
Having made his first team debut at the age of just 17, the young Londoner appeared occasionally for the next five seasons, but made 58 appearances between 1995 and 1998; the latter part of which being a particularly successful period for the Blues, though his chances were still limited due to competition at left-back from Scott Minto and Graeme Le Saux. He was part of the 1997 FA Cup and 1998 Cup Winners' Cup-winning squads; earning a medal as an unused substitute in both finals. With his chances restricted once more to occasional appearances, Myers signed for Bradford City in 1999 for a fee of £800,000.
After Chelsea
Myers appeared regularly for Bradford City during his time at the club, following a disappointing first season, which culminated in a brief spell on loan at Portsmouth. Myers settled in his second season and was voted the club's player of the year in 2002. In 2003 he moved to Colchester United before finishing his playing career in his native west London with Brentford, in 2005.
Chelsea coach
Having previously worked with young players at Cobham in a part-time capacity, Myers became the full-time Chelsea Under-15s coach in July 2011.[1] He then became Dermot Drummy's assistant manager with the Under-21 team a year later.
