Career
Born in Colchester, Wignall progressed through the Colchester United Centre of Excellence, beginning his apprenticeship with the club in 1998.[2] He made his first-team debut for the club in the Football League Trophy, coming on as a substitute for Alan White in the 32nd-minute of the 3–1 defeat to Swansea City on 7 December 1999.[3] He then made his solitary Football League appearance, replacing David Greene after 84 minutes in a 2–1 defeat to Bristol Rovers.[4][5]
Unable to break into United's first-team the following season, Wignall was released in March 2001, joining Conference club Dagenham & Redbridge, where he made five appearances during the latter stages of the 2000–01 season.[2][6] After his stint with the Daggers, he moved on to Cambridge City and then Chelmsford City.[2][7]
Next, Wignall joined Wivenhoe Town where his father, Steve, was assistant manager. He played for Wivenhoe between 2003 and 2007 before signing for AFC Sudbury in March 2007, where he remained until the end of the season.[2] He then joined Heybridge Swifts in August 2007, but transferred to Redbridge a few weeks later. For the 2008–09 season, he joined Needham Market, but left the club in September 2008, signing for Tiptree United, before moving to Harwich & Parkeston in March 2009. He spent a full season with Concord Rangers during 2009–10 before returning to Sudbury. He spent two years with the club, including spending time as first-team coach, but left in January 2012 to help run his parents business in North Wales.[7]
