Albert Wardell (12 January 1908 – 1987) was a Welsh professional footballer who played primarily for Newport County and represented the Wales national football team.

Career

Wardell was the son of John Wardell and was either born in Newport, Monmouthshire[1] or Bilston, South Staffordshire.[2]

In 1929, Wardell, 21, was selected for the Football Association of Wales tour of Canada but these matches were not classed as international cap matches.[3] His Newport County teammate Bob Pugh was also selected for the tour.

He signed with Darlington F.C. in 1930.[4]
