Martin Drury (born 10 April 1986) is an English football coach and former player who is assistant manager at Huddersfield Town.
Born in Huddersfield, Drury played as a left-back for Doncaster Rovers,[1] Gainsborough Trinity, Sheffield Wednesday, Belper Town, and Bradford (Park Avenue).[2] He retired at the age of 28 due to injury.
After retiring as a player, Drury worked for Bradford (Park Avenue) (as both assistant manager and then manager), and also as a coach at Boston United.[3]
At Park Avenue, he was appointed manager in April 2015, replacing John Deacey.[4] He left the club in March 2016, and was replaced by Darren Edmondson.[5]
Drury joined Bradford City in 2016, initially working in their Academy. In July 2017 he became a full-time youth coach at the club,[6] and in May 2018 he became Lead Development Coach for the club's entire youth set-up.[7]
He later worked as first-team coach under both Michael Collins and David Hopkin. In February 2019, after the resignation of Hopkin, Drury was appointed as the club's caretaker manager.[8] A few days later he appointed Paul Caddis as club captain, replacing Anthony O'Connor.[9] Drury's first game in charge, on 2 March 2019, was a 5–1 away defeat against Portsmouth. After the game, Drury said that appointing a new permanent manager was a "matter of urgency".[10] Two days later, on 4 March 2019, Gary Bowyer was appointed as Bradford City manager until the end of the 2018–19 season.[11] Drury was retained by the club as a coach.[12] By August 2021 his role was 'Senior Technical and Tactical Coach'.[13] He became Head of Academy Coaching in March 2022,[14] and later that month spoke positively about the achievements of the youth team.[15]
In July 2022 he became an academy coach at Manchester United.[16] He moved to a coaching role at West Bromwich Albion in August 2024,[17] before becoming an assistant coach at Spanish club Valencia in January 2025.[18]
He returned to England in July 2025 to become an assistant first team coach at Brentford.[19]
In January 2026 he became assistant manager at Huddersfield Town.[20]
As of November 2012, Drury was married with two sons.[21]
