He also played in the Southern League for Coventry City and was nicknamed "Tubby". He was described as "a great centre-forward" who possessed "an invaluable capacity for keeping opposing defences guessing".

At the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, Warren was the licensed victualler of the Three Tuns Inn, Hinckley.
