Kelvin Steven Langmead (born 23 March 1985) is an English professional footballer who plays for Nuneaton Town. He began his career as a striker, but since September 2006 has been employed as a central defender.
Langmead began his career as a trainee at Preston North End. He spent a month on loan to Tamworth in the Football Conference, where he played two matches in September 2003.
Later in the same season Preston loaned him to then Division 3 club Carlisle. He played 11 matches, with his league début coming in a 4–1 defeat at Torquay on 6 March 2004. His first goal was at Mansfield in a 3–2 win on 24 April.
In September 2004 Langmead was again sent out on loan, this time to Kidderminster Harriers in the newly named League Two. He played 11 matches for the Harriers and scored one goal. He returned to Preston to make his only appearance for the club, coming on as a substitute in the Championship game against Millwall (1–1, 13 November 2004).
Two weeks after his Preston début, he debuted for Shrewsbury, shortly after the appointment of former Preston manager and youth development chief Gary Peters as Shrews manager. Langmead played just three matches for the Shropshire club (scoring one goal) before making the move a permanent one, signing on a free transfer.
Langmead then made more than 80 appearances in League Two for Shrewsbury as a striker, and although far from prolific, he improved his scoring rate. In September 2006, after noticing his aerial ability when defending corners, Gary Peters trialled him at centre-back in a reserve fixture. He was then utilised in this position for the first team, and was recognised in the League Two team of the week for his performance against Macclesfield Town on 6 October 2006. Langmead's success in this position saw him play out the rest of the season at centre-back, as Shrewsbury reached the League Two play-off final. Langmead also earned the Player of the Season award as voted for by both players and fans, for his consistency that term.
