Career
Brindley started out with Chasetown before moving to Hednesford Town in the 1980s, before getting his big break with a move to Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1985. He was appointed manager in June 2004, and led the club to promotion via the Southern Football League play-off in May 2005. He left Hednesford in December 2005 after agreeing with the board to leave the post due to poor results.
From there he teamed up with Northern Premier League side Gresley Rovers, before joining Halesowen Town in May 2006 as player/assistant manager.
In December 2006, he left to join Stourport Swifts after former Hednesford players Martin O"Connor and Graham Hyde took over the reins at the Yeltz Linked up again with former Halesowen manager Paul Holleran at Rushall Olympic, again as player-assistant manager, in January 2007. After assisting Holleran to the end of the 2007-2008 season, Brindley made the step up to Conference North level once again, joining old foes Stafford Rangers once again as assistant manager to new Rangers boss - and former Wolves team-mate - Steve Bulletin.
This move also effectively moved the man into retirement after appearing numerous times for the Pics during 2007-2008
Money troubles hit Marston Road during the opening months of the 2008-2009 season, with Bulletin amongst a number of people released as Rangers desperately looked to balance the books Brindley took over as manager in December 2008, and with a threadbare squad, held on to their Conference North status for the 2009-2010 season.
In September 2010 Brindley resigned as manager of Stafford Rangers.
He gave a reason for his departure "The reason I leave Rangers is simply because there"s no Chairman, no money & most the players are youth. Also having the fans on your back doesn"t help even though there"s no money at all". Brindley has since been appointed Chasetown manager after Charlie Blakemore left.
He also took up a board of directors post following a game against Stafford Rangers.
