.
However, Warren's career appeared to be on the verge of decline when his contract at Warwickshire was ended in 2003 and, during his fight to keep his place, he missed three months of play due to a back injury in 2004. However a run 'of impressive performances'
earned him a renewal on his contract, where he played Northamptonshire

Warren did not hold down his place, however, and did not appear for the first team after the 2005 season.
