[edit] Career
McGovern started his career at Celtic, whom he joined as a trainee before moving to Livingston the following year. His time playing in Scotland was sandwiched by a loan spell at Sheffield United. He joined Sheffield Wednesday in 2004. He was a key part of the Owls' play off winning side in 2005, scoring a goal in the final and being ever present in that season and became a fan favourite amongst the Owls supporters. During the 2005/06 season though, his appearances were limited after suffering two long-term injuries. At the end of the season he was released, and subsequently signed for Milton Keynes Dons.
After only one full season with Milton Keynes, McGovern was signed by Swindon Town for an undisclosed fee - McGovern would be reunited with Paul Sturrock for whom he played under at Sheffield Wednesday. The Scotsman has signed a contract until 2010. McGovern made a fitting tribute to his MK Dons career, scoring a free-kick on his final appearance for the club in the Carling Cup 2nd round against former rivals Sheffield United.
