Darren Wrack (born 5 May 1976) is an English former professional footballer who played as a midfielder; he now works as chief scout at Port Vale. He scored 55 goals from 509 league and cup appearances in a 17-year career in the English Football League and Conference.
He began his career at Derby County in 1994, and helped the club to win promotion out of the First Division in 1995–96, before he was sold on to Grimsby Town in July 1996. He never established himself in the Grimsby first team, and had a brief loan spell at Shrewsbury Town, before moving on to Walsall in July 1998. He went on to spend ten years with the club, winning promotion out of the Second Division in 1998–99 and out of League Two in 2006–07. He was also voted onto the PFA Team of the Year in 1998–99. He joined Kettering Town in July 2008 after receiving treatment at the Sporting Chance Clinic for a gambling addiction. He joined Stafford Rangers in September 2010, before announcing his retirement in January 2011. He later worked as a scout for Brighton & Hove Albion and Port Vale.
Wrack began his career as a trainee at Derby County in 1994, and made his debut for the "Rams" under Roy McFarland in the 1994–95 season. Jim Smith led the club to promotion into the Premier League as runners-up of the First Division in 1995–96. Wrack played 31 games during his two seasons at the Baseball Ground.
