Darren David Powell (born 10 March 1976 in Hammersmith) is an English former footballer. He appeared over 250 times in Football League and Premier League games in his career. He is an academy coach for Crystal Palace
Powell began his career with Hampton before moving to Brentford where he spent four years. In August 2002 he signed for Crystal Palace for £400,000 and initially became an integral part of the team, scoring in the dying seconds of Palace's Play-off semi-final Second Leg game, at Sunderland taking the score on the night to a 2–1 defeat, but the aggregate score to 4–4. Palace won on penalties, and were promoted to the Premiership, following a Final win over West Ham. After promotion, he fell out of favour and spent a month at the end of 2004 on loan to West Ham where he scored once in the league against Watford.
In July 2005 he was out of contract and signed for Harry Redknapp at Southampton on a Bosman free transfer. Powell's first goal for the Saints was against Ipswich Town on 13 September 2005. Powell scored his second goal for the club with a first minute tap in from Adam Hammill's cross in a 3–2 home defeat to Queens Park Rangers. After three years of failing to establish himself in the first team due to a run of minor injuries, returning chairman Rupert Lowe decided not to renew Powell's contract.
