He was with Celtic, when he joined City. Starting his career with the Glasgow club in 2007, he never made a 1st team appearance but what part of the U-19 youth side that won a league and cup double.

In 2007 he signed on loan at East Fife, where he made 11 apperances.

When his contract at Celtic expired in the Summer of 2009 he joined City on trial, but because he was under 25, Celtic were entitled to a developemnt fee, so Exeter (and Lincoln, where he also trailled) made no offer.
