David Town (born December 9, 1976) is an English professional footballer. He currently plays as a forward for Conference South side Dorchester Town.

Town began his career as a trainee with his hometown side Bournemouth, turning professional in April 1995. He spent September 1997 on loan to Dorchester Town. Despite not being a regular in the Bournemouth side, Rushden & Diamonds paid £30,000 to take him to Nene Park in May 1999. He joined Hayes on a two month loan deal in late January 2001, moving to Boston United towards the end of March 2001.

He joined Kettering Town on loan in August 2002 and was released by Boston at the end of that season. In May 2003 he joined Havant & Waterlooville.

He moved to Eastleigh for the 2005-06 season, but left in September 2006 to join Dorchester Town ^[1]

In November 2007 he turned down a move to local side AFC Bransgore, after refusing to be named as a subsitute and branding the manager a "rubbery rat". Age has not been kind to Town, and he is often now mistaken for a man 5 years his senior. His favourite past-time is now bird watching, and he is most often found hanging around their favourite watering holes. In December 2007, charity became a major influence in Towns life, with him letting A.Boyle take residence on the side of his nose.

During his career Town earnt the nickname 'Sniffer'. This is thought to come from him being described as "A striker with a nose for goal". He has also been known as 'Rash'. Several girls he used to know gave this to him.
