Colin McMenamin (born 12 February 1981 in Glasgow) is a Scottish footballer who currently plays with Scottish club Gretna. He plays as a striker.
Beginning his career in 1999 at Dumfries and Galloway club Annan Athletic, one of the top Scottish non-league clubs, he was signed by English Premier League club Newcastle United after one season.
After two seasons without a senior appearance for Newcastle, he returned to Scotland on a free transfer to Livingston F.C. in August 2002. In three seasons with the SPL club he scored 10 goals in 50 league appearances. McMenamin also went on loan to Falkirk for half a season (August 2003-December 20003) during this period; he scored 4 in 16 for the Division One club.
Remembering him from his time as Bobby Robson's assistant at Newcastle, the then Shrewsbury Town assistant manager Mick Wadsworth recommended him to Gary Peters (Shrewsbury manager) who snapped him up on a free transfer in August 2005.
McMenamin was a first-choice regular with the Shropshire club, averaging one goal every four games. With 10 goals in 40 starts he was the club's top scorer in the 2005-06 League Two season.
He joined Gretna in August 2006 on a free transfer, making his debut as a substitute for James Grady in the 6-0 win at home to Hamilton on August 5, 2006. He scored his first goals for Gretna in his second game for the club, scoring two goals in the 2-1 victory away to Clyde on August 13, 2006.[1] Colin has now racked up an impressive 23 goals in the Scottish First Division and is the leagues top scorer.
