David Ronald Pipe (born 5 November 1983) is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a midfielder or full-back for Newport County, on loan from Eastleigh after leaving Forest Green Rovers in May 2016.
Born in Caerphilly, Wales, Pipe began his career in the youth system at Coventry City. He made his senior debut for the Sky Blues on 31 August 2002 as a second-half substitute for Gary McSheffrey in a 1–0 home defeat against Nottingham Forest. He scored his first senior goal in an away win over Gillingham on 5 October 2002 when he netted alongside Jay Bothroyd.
At the start of the 2003–04 season, he was limited to just a single League Cup appearance. He subsequently joined Notts County on loan in January 2004. He made his debut for his new loan club three days later on 17 January 2004, helping them to a 1–0 away win over Wrexham. In April 2004, he had his contract at Coventry terminated, allowing him to join Notts County permanently on a two-year contract.
Having been a mainstay of the Notts County squad for three consecutive seasons, Bristol Rovers paid £50,000 for his services in July 2007. His first appearance for Bristol Rovers came in a 1–1 away draw against Port Vale in August 2007.
He joined Cheltenham Town on loan in November 2009. His loan at Whaddon Road was then extended until the end of January 2010. He returned to Bristol Rovers at the end of the month but failed to make another appearance in the 2009–10 season. In June 2010, he was jailed for 38 months for fracturing the skull of another man in an unprovoked attack in Bristol.
