Known for his technical ability and creativity, Bell began his career at Rushden & Diamonds and had stints at Luton Town and Norwich City before joining Coventry City in 2009. At Coventry, Bell became a reliable figure in midfield, valued for his composure on the ball, vision, and ability to deliver from set-pieces.
While his time at Coventry was marked by some struggles with injuries, he still managed to contribute memorable moments, including an impressive long-range goal against Doncaster Rovers. Bell's style of play often made him a fan favorite, as he worked tirelessly to dictate the tempo of matches. After Coventry, he moved to lower league football, bringing experience and leadership to teams like Notts County and King's Lynn Town. Bell retired in 2015, leaving a legacy as a dependable and skillful midfielder.
