Biography

Chris served Kirkcaldy YMCA well for a good few seasons where he netted a barrel load of goals - including quite a number against the Hibs!

He moved to Ballingry Rovers in 2011/12 before joining Thornton in February 2012 in exchange for Kevin Smith.

Chris played a major role when the Hibs won the North Division in 2014/15 as he netted 25 goals (27 including cup-ties). One goal - a volley from wide left on the touchline against Downfield - was as good a goal as any EVER seen in Memorial Park. As a reward for this impressive haul, he was voted the club's Supporters' PoY, Players' PoY as well as getting his name on the Top Scorer Trophy. In 2015/16 Chris was once again the club's top scorer.

Chris returned to Memorial Park in September 2017 after a short spell at Lochgelly Albert hampered by a collarbone break during pre-season.

Scored, and was Man of the Match, when the Hibs won the Fife and Lothians Cup in May 2019.

Spent a couple of seasons at Kirkcaldy & Dysart before returning to the Hibs at the start of season 2022/23.
