[edit] Career

Hedderman, a former Irish youth international[1], began his senior career in Scotland with Aberdeen. Hedderman returned home to Irish football in 2001 and had short-lived spells with St. Patrick's Athletic and Cork City. Hedderman joined Derry City for the 2003 season and spent 2 seasons at the Brandywell outfit while having a short loan spell with First Division side Sligo Rovers in 2004. Hedderman departed Derry City at the end of the 2004 season to join Dublin City. Hedderman was a vital figure for the Vikings during their successful 2005 First Division campaign as Dublin City secured promotion to the Premier Division after victory in a two-legged play-off against Shamrock Rovers. Hedderman's Dublin City career was cut short in July 2006 when Dublin City went out of existence due to severe financial difficulties. It did not take Hedderman long to find a new club when he joined Waterford United for the remainder of the 2006 Premier Division campaign. Waterford and Hedderman were due to begin the 2007 season in the new FAI run First Division until Waterford received a reprieve in February 2007 as a result of Shelbourne's demotion to the First Division due to their financial difficulties. With a squad intended to play First Division football, Waterford played catch up throughout the 2007 season but were relegated back to the First Division after a two-legged play-off defeat to Finn Harps. Hedderman departed the freshly relegated Waterford after a season and a half at the RSC to join fellow First Division side Shelbourne on November 29, 2007[2] linking up with his former Dublin City manager Dermot Keely at the Tolka Park club. Hedderman made his Shelbourne debut in a scoreless draw against Dundalk at Tolka Park on March 7, 2008[3]
