Michael McIndoe (born December 2, 1979 in Edinburgh) is a Scottish professional footballer who is currently playing as a midfielder for Bristol City.
McIndoe started his professional career at Luton Town making his debut in 1998. He played 39 games for the Hatters before moving on a free transfer to Hereford United in 2000. He did well for Hereford but the club's financial pressures forced them to accept a £25,000 bid from rivals Yeovil Town in 2001.[1] McIndoe made 91 appearances and scored 22 league goals before signing for Doncaster Rovers in 2003. He played 122 games for Rovers, scoring 28 goals.
In 2005 he scored the first penalty in the Carling Cup tie against Premiership side Manchester City to start Doncaster's cup run. He then scored a memorable penalty against Aston Villa. Additionally, he scored against Arsenal after only four minutes, but Doncaster lost the tie on penalties - in which McIndoe scored his penalty - after Gilberto Silva, scored an equaliser during injury time in extra time.
With a Scotland 'A' call McIndoe sensed an opportunity to break into the Scottish national side and he said "I believe Scotland are crying out for a left winger."[citation needed] McIndoe wanted to play at a higher level to make sure he was not overlooked for a place in the national team, and signed for Championship side Derby on loan in the second half of the 2005-2006 season. At the end of 2005-06, McIndoe was named in the PFA League One team of the year.[2]
McIndoe signed for Doncaster's rivals, the newly promoted Championship side Barnsley, for £125,000 in the 2006-2007 pre-season. He netted the first goal in Barnsley's win against Hull City in August 2006.
He moved on loan to Wolves in autumn 2006, activating a clause in his contract allowing him to move elsewhere if he wished. He moved permanently on 1 January 2007 for £250,000.[3] In an important game against Birmingham City he scored two goals and had a chance to secure a point missed a penalty in the last minutes of the game with the score at 3-2.
In July 2007 McIndoe signed a three-year contract with newly promoted Championship side Bristol City for an undisclosed fee.[4] and netted six times for his club in his first season against Coventry City, twice against Sheffield United, Norwich City,Colchester United and Preston North End as well as the winning goal in the Championship play off semi final second leg against Crystal Palace
