Declan McDaid (born 22 November 1995) is a Scottish football player for Cowdenbeath, on loan from Scottish Premiership side Partick Thistle. McDaid started his career as a youth player at Greenock Morton, before being promoted to the club's first team in April 2013. However, McDaid left the club a short time later and signed for (then) Scottish First Division side Partick Thistle in June 2013.
Club career
Born in Greenock, McDaid made his debut for Greenock Morton on 6 April 2013, coming on as a late substitute in a 5–2 victory over Airdrie United.[1] He chose to reject an offer of a full-time contract with the club and left in 2013.[2]
McDaid joined newly promoted Scottish Premiership club Partick Thistle on 21 June 2013, initially to play for Thistle's under 20 squad.[3] Just after 20 seconds of coming on as a substitute against St Mirren, McDaid assisted Christie Elliot to a goal in the seventy-fifth minute. Thistle eventually won the game 1–0. On 18 February 2015, McDaid signed a new contract, keeping him at Partick Thistle until the summer of 2017.[4]
In January 2016, McDaid moved to Scottish League One side Cowdenbeath on loan, with the purpose of gaining some first-team experience.[5] McDaid scored his first ever professional goal on the 20/2/16 scoring for Cowdenbeath in a 2-3 home defeat to Peterhead making it 1-1 at the time. [6]
International career
McDaid was first called into the Scotland Schools U18 squad in 2013 after his performances in the Morton reserve side which finished second in the SFL Reserve League.[7]
McDaid would start all four games in the Centenary Cup, and scored against England at McDiarmid Park.[8]
