 Released by Tottenham at the end of the 1996 – 97 season , Wormull joined Second Division club Brentford on a free transfer , marking his debut in the Football League by missing the best chance of the match . He fell out of favour , and following a trial in Brighton & Hove Albion 's reserves , was given a month 's contract by manager Brian Horton , who described the player as someone who " uses the ball well , ... gets forward and is quite aggressive " . Injury prevented him playing for the first team during that period , or during another month at the start of the 1998 – 99 season ; much to Horton 's displeasure , Wormull rejected the offer of a further month , preferring to drop down to the Conference with Dover Athletic .
